Happy New Year! It has been a whirlwind closing out 2013, and the Bamboo Lota team is ready to see what 2014 has in store. We wanted to update you all on what we have been working on these last few months, and to give you a glimpse into our plans!
Towards the middle of last year, we started collaborating with two engineers from MIT who have generously agreed to test the bamboo charcoal samples we brought back from Malawi. Tests are still ongoing and the results will be shared soon.
Here is what is in store for Bamboo Lota in 2014:
1. Bamboo Lota is exploring other bamboo-based products that can have a positive impact on the environment and the communities we work with.
2. We’re continuing our partnership with Emmanuel International; EI has been a tremendous help in the last few years and we’ve been blessed beyond words for their help. We'll be working closely with EI to continue piloting bamboo charcoal production in the field and disseminating research to stakeholders across the country.
After our trip to Malawi last June, we compiled the "Bamboo Lota Findings Report" that conclude our trip findings and our pilot test results. You can check it out below.
Stay tuned for more updates in the next few weeks!
Love,
Joanna, Kyson, Stephanie
