Currently, we are serving about 8000 customers each month (1,500 through gas cylinders, and 6,500 through the community kitchen), we are currently stopping about 267.7 tons of C02 from being emitted each month. At the same time, by removing plastic waste from landfills, we mitigate the plastic waste footprint. Currently, we are recycling just over 102 tons of plastic waste each month, with the average plastic waste footprint being about 3.81 kgs, we are stopping an extra 402.11tons of C02 from being emitted by converting plastic waste into clean energy. In total, we are combating about 672.82 tons of C02 each month. We are confident that we are on the right trajectory to scale, our plan to scale is anchored on:
1. Growing our production capacity and reach to 100,000 homes by 02-04-2030
2. creating 1000 jobs both directly and indirectly by 2029
3. Digitization and Continous Innovation
We are looking to serve about 100,000 Households ( each household consists of an average of 7 people) each month, this will see us stop 16,473.84 tons of C02 from being emitted each month, and at the same, we will be recycling about 750 tons of plastic waste to meet our customer's needs. Recycling 750 tons each month will see us stop an extra 125,571 tons of C02. At scale, we will be stopping a total of 142,004.84 tons of C02 from being emitted each month, which will translate to 323,257.08 annually. By the year 2050, Kyuka ventures will have reduced 5,463,095.16 of C02 emissions.
Our Overview
We are embedded in both households and the larger community. Our clean cooking gas is accessible by both family units and the public at a central community kitchen. This means that at the most important social gatherings, we are building the both hard and soft infrastructure necessary to keep climate change at the center of local conversations. As a matter of fact, our theory of change targets the knowledge, practices, and attitudes of our customers including host communities where we operate the community kitchens. We are shifting their perceptions about waste management, particularly on plastic pollution, equipping them with the necessary knowhow and reinforcing their positive actions which we believe will build social capital critical in addressing the climate crisis in the long term. This is our biggest breakthrough. To us, providing clean cooking gas is not just a great entry point into households and communities but is also a conversation starter and a source of inspiration giving them reasons to be better stewards of the environment. This to us is very important in our short- and long-term growth plans. As more people learn about and embrace our solution, we will be servicing a market today while preparing potentially new customers in the future. Our impact and growth is pegged on us being able to have this market that needs and can buy our solution.
