We're thrilled to announce a fresh look for Husky! This rebrand isn't just about aesthetics; it's about reflecting our burning passion for a sustainable future. Our new look embodies our determination for renewable energy and clean cooking solutions, which we bring about not only by turning waste to clean and affordable fuel, but also by infusing efficiency into stoves and cooking systems. We are working hard to continue impacting the climate through combating deforestation, and the health of Ethiopian women through curbing indoor pollution. Stay tuned to see how we're igniting change!

At Husky, we are tremendously committed to impact our community especially in the realms of clean cooking and renewable energy. These rural communities we engaged with are suffering from the problems of unhealthy cooking practices. They are part of the big number; 2.6 billion, which is the number of people that doesn't have access to clean cooking globally according to Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA). This is not a mere inconvenience; the World Health Organization estimates that every year, some 4 million people die from indoor pollution—the inhalation of toxic gases while cooking indoors—as well as 50,000 Ethiopians. While Kilbich, our efficient and aesthetic charcoal stove, is solving this problem in urban and pre-urban areas, our rocket stove is about to impact rural communities. We would love to thank iDE (International Development Enterprises) for the partnership that is being employed to serve our common vision and values.

Supporting women entrepreneurs through partnerships is one of our core values. We feel proud and humbled about it while striving to make more impact. #womenempowerment #socialentrepreneurship

Yesterday, I had a phone call from one of our online retailers. Her voice crackled with emotion over the phone when she told me that she was getting more income as once a struggling online entrepreneur, described how our eco-friendly kilbich stoves have transformed her life. The stable income brought more than just security; it fueled hope. Genets's story isn't unique. It's a testament to the power of social enterprise, where profit meets purpose and lives are transformed. Each kilbich sold isn't just a product; it's a flame of empowerment, a chance for families to rise from hardship and write their own stories of success.
