MAA BRIQUETTES saving the Maasai Mau Forest

George Mochu is the owner and Founder of Maa Briquettes (sole proprietor), a local enterprise located in Narok County. The enterprise uses biomass to produce smokeless briquettes appropriate for household and cottage industry use. Maa Briquettes are eco-friendly, efficient, conveniently sized, and affordable briquettes produced in Narok County.

The Maa Briquette innovation is a simple idea that uses charcoal dust, maize cobs and maize stalk and waste vegetable matter to make smokeless briquettes which are dried and then sold as fuel. The briquettes burn three times longer than charcoal, and are smokeless hence pose minimal risk to the respiratory health of the user.

Maa Briquettes received KES. 3.2M in seed funding from NETFUND to grow his business and contribute to saving Mau Forest. READ MORE about this: http://www.netfund.go.ke/our-benefici...
