Global advocacy body, the World Liquid Gas Association (WLGA), has revealed that women and girls in Africa lose up to five hours every day collecting fuel for cooking purposes. This time burden limits education, job opportunities and the ability to start businesses, keeping many trapped in cycles of poverty. Speaking at the yearly Central Africa LPG Expo, representatives from the WLGA said the rollout of clean cooking solutions, such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), could transform the lives of millions of women and girls across the continent.
