March has been a busy month for CO2balance with plenty of activity, in Africa, including an additional 1,000 improved cook stoves distributed in Bugasera, Rwanda. SCC joined the CO2balance team in Likoni, Kenya as part of their Challenge Africa fund raising project. The team helped build and paint a new fence to support the local school. Representatives from Toshiba TEC had a successful trip to the Mombasa Mangrove Conservation project which was started with Toshiba funding. In addition, CO2balance are very pleased to have our first Gold Standard borehole rehabilitation project registered in Uganda. In Cameroon the Co2balance in country partner, ACREST, is continuing it's great work with the local communities. Whilst back in Kenya local stakeholder meetings were held in partnership with World Vision Australia to launch an improved cook stove project. Wishing you all a successful April and a Happy Easter.
