This Queen Elizabeth II Commonwealth Trust feature tells one of Planet Green Africa’s clearest stories: agricultural waste can become safe, renewable cooking energy. It celebrates PGA’s ability to turn overlooked materials into a product with daily value for Malawian kitchens.

The feature also highlights the people around the product, including women farmers, community kiosks and the customers who need cleaner fuel close to home. That is where PGA’s model becomes powerful: it links production, access and livelihoods.

Nyasa Moto is a practical answer to a practical problem. By making cleaner fuel from local waste streams, PGA helps families cook, helps communities earn and helps reduce pressure on forests.
