“Continued Most businesses struggled severely including our organization. Given the lack of vaccines available in Uganda the pandemic put major delays on our projects and institutional funding streams and forced us to temporarily close down most sales channels due to safety concerns. With that said, we did manage to carry out some partnership with the German government through GiZ, the technical organization in which we marketed efficient cookstoves and managed to sell 901 Berkeley Darfur Stoves, 499 charcoal stoves, 13 baking ovens and 24 grills. We began using a phone app for sales to reduce user contact and increased marketing via facebook.”
