Energy used in hospitals, clinics, homes and hotels has been based on biomass. Currently research shows that 93% of Ugandans use Biomass as their source of energy. It has been reported in the media that the cost of charcoal and firewood has gone up and there is an extensive effect on nature so this shows that if there no any other source of energy, children will go hungry and wont be able to eat three meals a day, girl child wont be able to go to school because they will go to the fields to look for firewood, and rural health facilities wont be able to sterilize the equipments for treating their patients. Loadshedding in Uganda has become a phenomenon for the day and we hope Liquefied Petroleum Gas is the answer to this energy problem. Wana Energy Solutions is the solution to this current problem. WeS rents Gas cylinders at no cost, and it is now planning to provide gas on tap to organised homesteads and will continue to provide gas to homes which are not able to connect gas due to its start up costs.

Health care and Energy

Reduce ill health due to indoor air population (IAP). According to research published by Uganda Bureau standards, IAP is 500 folds as compared to polution caused by cars. IAP causes acute respiratory tract infections for children and chronic respiratory tract infection for adults especially women. This would be avoided if families could be able to use clean, reliable and affordable LPG. Wana Energy solutions hope to provide this solution.
