Primary Project Category:

How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['Replaces/avoids GHGs (e.g., projects that replace sources of GHGs, such as the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, transport, or other energy uses)', 'Reduces GHGs (e.g., projects that reduce sources of GHGs, such as through efficiency or other changes in consumption)', 'Removes/stores GHGs (e.g., projects that capture, sequester, or otherwise enhance the "sinks" that accumulate and store GHGs)']

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Our socially responsible initiative is the merging of  climate justice and gender equity. We empower the most vulnerable people to the effects of climate change, which are the women of East Africa, by turning an increasing demand that is biologically natural to them every month effectively into something useful and useful to the environment. This is achieved by using KosmoPads instead of plastic.
Internally, it’s by example that we lead. At Kosmotive, we're a woman-led enterprise, and over 80% of our employees in Kigali come from underrepresented groups, including many females and youth. Not to mention the factory, our “hub-and-spoke” approach to the last mile also fosters environmentally conscious entrepreneurial endeavors for women saleswomen. They, in turn, are our key climate messengers, raising awareness in local communities about circular consumption in exchange for economic empowerment.
Through our operations, we make sure that it is the people who are directly influenced by the supply chain instabilities fueled by climate change who are, in fact, the ones who come up with the solution. And winning the Keeling Curve Prize will be one step further in empowering our women to lead amidst the green industrial revolution in Africa.
