Liberty Energy, a prominent North American energy services company, proudly introduces the Bettering Human Lives Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing clean cooking solutions and enhancing the well-being of communities worldwide. This foundation aligns with the company’s ongoing efforts to address poverty-related challenges.
Mission and Focus on Clean Cooking
The Bettering Human Lives Foundation is driven by the belief that clean cooking has the transformative power to change lives. Presently, one-third of the global population relies on open fires or polluting stoves for cooking, contributing to health issues, premature deaths, and hindering human potential. The foundation is urgently committed to expanding access to clean cooking fuels.
Empowering Innovators and Entrepreneurs
The foundation seeks to achieve its mission by directly supporting innovators and entrepreneurs in Africa and Asia, enabling them to establish and grow their businesses in the clean cooking sector. By fostering grassroots solutions, the foundation aims to empower communities and provide families with a viable pathway out of poverty through access to modern, clean energy.
Leadership and Experience
Executive Director Anne Hyre, with over 30 years of dedicated service in public health across Africa and Asia, will play a pivotal role in guiding the foundation’s clean cooking initiatives. Her wealth of experience positions the foundation to create a lasting and positive impact on communities.
Financial Commitment and Fundraising
Liberty Energy has initially committed $1 million to the Bettering Human Lives Foundation and expresses confidence that significant funds will be raised from various sources within and outside the industry. Chris Wright, Founder and CEO of Liberty Energy, emphasizes the company’s dedication to making a positive impact, particularly in facilitating the emergence from dire poverty through access to clean cooking fuels.
Foundation Initiatives
The foundation’s initiatives include financial support, mentorship programs, and partnerships with local organizations to advance clean cooking solutions. Liberty Energy invites collaboration from like-minded entities, philanthropists, and individuals who share the vision of a world where everyone cooks over clean-burning stoves, leading to improved health, economic prosperity, and a brighter future.
