Grow and make your own charcoal in half the time at half the cost!

An indigenous acacia tree can start producing, with less the 800mm of rain per year, up to one bag of good charcoal using only the branches under a coppicing regime within appx.10 years.

It's never too late or too far to start planting your own wood-energy.

Nor should it be too expensive, 1pkt of Kenya Seeds of Change costs only 100ksh, in it you get over 300 seeds of 3 types of hardy high value acacia trees. Using direct seeding methods reduces your planting costs to as little as 6khs per tree.

And small scale charcoal making has never been so easy, use one of our improved kilns and make up to 50kgs a day using only tree branches!

Or make a bit more charcoal using the new smokeless charcoal making method by Dr. Maxwell Kinyanjui, cut your labor cost by 60% and increase production!
