Eswatini's leading
clean-cooking energy provider.
Electricity has become unaffordable for the ordinary LiSwati — especially through the cold winter months when cooking and heating matter most. Luvatsi was built as the clean, cost-cutting answer: a premium pyrolysis charcoal paired with world-class Envirofit cookstoves, so every household can cook cleaner, faster and cheaper.

Schools, hospitals and clinics.
Institutional kitchens cook for hundreds of people every day, and almost all of them still burn firewood. Where an improved stove has been installed, fuel use, cooking time and kitchen smoke drop sharply — and the savings fall straight to the institution's budget.
