E+Co is thrilled to announce the launch of its new CGI Commitment, “Innovative Finance for Clean Energy in Ghana.” E+Co has partnered with E+Carbon and its investee, Toyola, an enterprise which distributes fuel efficient cookstoves and solar lanterns in Ghana. Toyola and E+Co, in partnership with E+Carbon, commit to sell at least 140,000 energy-efficient cookstoves and 10,000 solar products within three years to low-income families in Ghana and the West African sub-region using an innovative combination of mobile marketing, micro-franchising, carbon finance, small business finance, and microfinance. This commitment will provide clean energy to households and institutions, improve public health and create jobs while helping local communities and families save money and curb greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation.
Suraj Wahab, owner of Toyola Energy Limited, and Christine Eibs Singer, CEO and Co-Founder of E+Co have been invited on stage on September 21st at the Clinton Global Initiative’s Sixth Annual Meeting to highlight this commitment which was selected from a large pool of member commitments as an exemplary approach to addressing challenges in Environment and Energy.
