Dziwani Investment
Dziwani Investments produces stoves designed for durability, fuel efficiency, and ease of use. Unlike conventional cooking methods that contribute to environmental degradation, high fuel consumption, and unhealthy indoor air, Dziwani stoves significantly reduce smoke emissions and fuel use, creating safer, healthier homes. The stoves are compatible with commonly used fuels such as biomass, firewood, and briquettes, giving households flexible and affordable energy options while easing pressure on forests.
Through partnership with the Growth Accelerator, Dziwani expanded its production capacity and strengthened its operations. The business constructed a tinsmith shed and storage facility, procured a delivery vehicle to strengthen distribution, purchased compressors to improve product durability, and installed solar backup power to ensure uninterrupted production
