Fueling Change

Thank you Judy, for your generous $30 monthly donation to this project! Help from people like you is vital to our success. It’s great to have you on the team. I apologize, but I don’t have a definitive answer to your question about reforesting the areas in the gorilla sector that were cleared by the charcoal producers. It is safe to assume, however, that nothing is being done at this time because of the security situation. Although it is improving day to day, even the rangers have yet to return to their posts.

I just returned from another virtual visit to the Working Villages International site, specifically the Ruzizi project. What a great concept. Thanks for the heads up, Pam. As we move into the agricultural phase of this project, I hope we can leverage off of what has been learned at Ruzizi. Thank you for your offer to look into contacts with World Bank. This would be a huge leg up, as would hearing about any of the lessons learned in the process of working with them.

Dipesh, great information about the plant, moringa oleifera. I am contacting BSH to see if they have any experience with using it as a fuel. I’m also trying to find out the yield per hectare, so I can compare moringa oleifera to the other plant oil fuels. I will report back when I have an answer. This truly is an amazing plant. Virtually every part of the plant is usable.
