All Baraka orders are now shipped carbon free, and benefit rural women in Ghana and Kenya

Every Baraka Shipment to our customers is now shipped carbon neutral, with the support going towards a project in Kenya, providing hard-working rural women with stoves that reduce cooking time, conserve fuel, combat climate change and deforestation and reduce the fuel cost for the women.

This only happened because of the support and encouragement of our customers.
