In this insightful interview on Hoedspruit FM, Leon Reynolds, team leader of the TASC cookstove project under the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere, shares how the initiative is transforming lives across rural South Africa. The TASC project provides free, fuel-efficient rocket stoves to households, which is resulting in significantly reduced deforestation, carbon emissions and health risks while saving time and money for families. With over 450,000 stoves distributed to date across the K2C and neighbouring biospheres, the project’s impact extends far beyond energy access – it’s catalyzing community upliftment, environmental education and small-scale economic development.
Leon is joined by Angi Ellet, K2C’s Community Income Generation Manager, who highlights the complementary TASC Community Foundation, which funds grassroots projects that benefit entire communities, from recycling centres to small-scale agri-business hubs.
Thank you to Hoedspruit FM Stream for giving K2C this platform to share our story!
