Forward 7
Launched in 2021 as part of the Middle East Green Initiative (MGI), Forward7 aims to provide clean cooking solutions - including Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), electric and solar powered stoves and biodigesters - to hundreds of millions people around the world. This Initiative is dedicated to offering solutions to vulnerable populations globally, many of whom face dire consequences due to traditional and hazardous cooking practices such as coal and wood usage. These clean cooking solutions have the potential to save countless lives by mitigating the risks associated with these traditional practices.
