Luwero Diocese Launches Clean Cooking Programme to Tackle Energy and Health Challenges
|
|
The Church of Uganda’s St. Francis Church in Nakasongola Archdeaconry hosted the launch of a clean cooking programme for Luwero Diocese, a major step toward promoting affordable, safe, and environmentally friendly cooking solutions. The initiative, held on Sunday 28th September 2025 sought to shift households away from firewood and charcoal, reducing indoor air pollution, curbing deforestation, and easing the financial strain of traditional fuels. The colourful ceremony was presided over by the Bishop of Luwero Diocese, Rt. Rev. Wilson Kisekka, with the Minister for Energy and Mineral Development, Hon. Ruth Nankabirwa, as the chief guest. The British High Commissioner to Uganda, H.E. Elisa Chesney, also graced the event, reaffirming the UK’s commitment to supporting Uganda’s clean energy transition. Officials emphasized that the programme will especially benefit women and children, who are most vulnerable to health risks from smoke-filled kitchens, while also contributing to environmental protection and sustainable development.
