Briquette Production & Fire Starters

Fueling Change. Empowering Women. Protecting the Environment.

Clean Energy Skills for Sustainable Living

Through this program, FEMWAG trains women and girls in the production of charcoal briquettes and safe, low-cost fire starters made from recycled materials.
These products are affordable, eco-friendly alternatives to firewood, improving household health and creating income opportunities.

What We Teach

Briquette Production

Participants learn to collect, mix, mold, and dry organic waste into efficient charcoal briquettes. These briquettes are smokeless, cost-effective, and safe.

Fire Starter Making

Using materials like paper pulp, wax, and sawdust, women produce homemade fire starters that light easily and burn longer — perfect for home and market.
