African Makers Media needs you!

Here’s to enriched lives, work and community in 2016!
Last fall we launched our African Makers Media initiative to focus on one issue, #cleancookstoves, and test a model for impact.

Our plan for stories, platform features, and outreach appears in the video.

By fall 2016 we aim to produce six stories of #cleancookstoves and fuel makers, and to recruit African social media and tech designers for a new story platform and outreach campaign. Local crews will film in Kenya and Uganda, where the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves (GACC) is focusing its work.
