DelAgua’s Tubeho Neza (“Live Well”) Programme
Over the past decade, DelAgua has developed a highly efficient project implementation system that allows their ‘Live Well’ programme to reach even the most remote villages in Rwanda, Sierra Leone and The Gambia.
Since the project’s inception in 2012, DelAgua has distributed 2 million stoves; the majority of them delivered to rural areas that are not easily accessible due to limited road infrastructure or geographical isolation.

I photographed DelAgua’s Tubeho Neza (“Live Well”) project in Rwanda at the beginning of the programme, capturing the transportation, distribution and use of the cookstoves. It is now one of the largest cookstove programmes of its kind, addressing critical climate and health challenges at scale for the long term. This is improving seven million lives, cutting household air pollution by 73% and reducing wood use by more than 70%.
The photographs were published in a book and went on to win a number of awards including being shortlisted for the prestigious Sony World Photography Awards.
