Her appeal comes amid growing conversations about household energy choices in Uganda, where charcoal remains a common cooking fuel for many families.
By sharing her personal experience, Nyamutooro is challenging fellow leaders to reconsider their domestic energy habits and explore alternatives to charcoal.

Nyamutooro’s message places the spotlight on the role leaders can play in encouraging changes in everyday household practices.
