The Eco-Flame project aims to train 200 women on the use of eco-friendly cooking methods, significantly contributing to environmental sustainability, economic savings, and improved health for the people of East Gonja.

The initiative highlights Vivo Energy Ghana’s commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship as outlined in the organisation’s sustainability framework.

The Managing Director, Vivo Energy Ghana, Jean-Michel Arlandis, signed on behalf of the company while Laura Cristina DelValle, National Director of World Vision Ghana signed for World Vision.

At the signing ceremony, Mr Arlandis expressed his enthusiasm for the project, saying, “At Vivo Energy Ghana, our mission extends beyond providing energy solutions. We are deeply committed to making a positive impact on the communities we serve and the environment we all share”.

Deforestation

He said the Eco-Flame project was a testament to efforts by Vivo Energy Ghana to reduce deforestation in Ghana and promote sustainable cooking practices.

He added that the collaboration was an indication of a shared vision of fostering community development and environmental sustainability.

On behalf of World Vision Ghana, the National Director of World Vision Ghana, Ms Laura Cristina DelValle, said the project would have a positive impact on local communities and the women who would be trained in the production of eco-friendly cookstoves.

She emphasised the importance of sustainable practices and the role the Eco-Flame project would play in promoting environmental conservation and improving the livelihoods of women in the East Gonja District.

“We are very much delighted to partner Vivo Energy Ghana on such a life-changing project that will not only help preserve the forest in Ghana and create job opportunities, but also improve the lives of these women who ordinarily have to inhale smoke daily, a practice which is harmful to their health, and I am glad we are able to mitigate this through the Eco-Flame project,” she noted.
