Abstract
ACP/EU Energy facility funded project led by GVEP to enable sustainable development of small energy enterprises in rural and peri-urban areas to provide energy services and employment Case study: Susan Njuguna Was a beneficiary of the Developing Energy Enterprises Project. She received Technology and Business Development skills from the project. Her enterprise was also featured in the 'Mazingira Mitaani' feature on K24 TV station: The program created awareness of briquettes in general and gave publicity to the enterprises that were featured. Susan said: “I am sure that I speak for all the entrepreneurs featured when I say a big 'Thank You' to Practical Action. Following the airing of the program on Monday, I received a number of calls from old friends and acquaintances, some requesting to become distributors for 'Chefmate' my brand name for the briquettes I produce and sell. And the best part: after viewing the feature and hearing the testimony of the hatchery owner who said that he now uses 1.5 bags of briquettes compared to 5 bags of charcoal previously, the management of an institution that I had been trying to sell to bought 5 x 50Kg bags of briquettes from me. I hope this and other stories that will certainly come your way will serve to re-affirm to you that your project does indeed impact on the lives of people and re-energize you to continue with the good work. Thank you once again”.
