This Clean Cooking Alliance interview gives space to Mwayi Kampesi’s journey as a young Malawian CEO building Planet Green Africa from the ground up. It captures the persistence, learning and community focus behind PGA’s clean cooking work.

The story is a celebration of leadership as much as product innovation. Mwayi speaks from the reality of building a business that has to serve households, support women distributors, manage production and keep affordability at the centre.

For readers discovering PGA, the interview is a strong introduction to the values behind Nyasa Moto: courage, practical problem-solving and a belief that clean energy solutions should be shaped by the people who use them.
