Once the total value of a grant has been funded, Lendwithcare will transfer funds to the FairClimateFund, a non-profit social enterprise from the Netherlands founded in 2009 by the ICCO Foundation and now part of the Dutch aid and development organisation Cordaid. The FairClimateFund will then transfer the funds to one of the local partners responsible for identifying project beneficiaries.
In the case of the improved cookstoves project in India, the project beneficiary is the Sustainable Household Energy (SHE) Group, a group established in India to support women. The SHE Group uses the funds to buy the cookstoves and deliver them to individual women who use them. In Rwanda, Biomasters, a pellet production enterprise, is in charge of distributing cookstoves and providing pellets. In Chad, FairClimateFund, together with its partner ADES, provides families in the Iridimi and Touloum camps with clean and safe solar-powered cooking solutions.
