Editor\'s note: Sanga Moses is one of the 2014 New Explorers in National Geographic magazine, a title to honor those who discover, change and inspire people to care about the Earth.
Sanga Moses grew up barefoot in a small village on the top of a thatched house in Uganda, where there was no electricity.
However, he became the first college graduate of his family and found a bank job in Kampala.
On 2009, he returned from the capital of Uganda to meet his 12-year-
The old sister on the road.
\"She stood there crying, and she was wearing a bundle of heavy wood on her head,\" Moses recalled . \".
\"She\'s frustrated because like most rural girls, she misses schools for a few days a week looking for fuel wood.
\"My sister lost her only chance to make her life better . \"
\"This is not the only change that Moses noticed in his hometown.
\"When I was young, our home was surrounded by the National Forest,\" he said . \"
\"Now that none of these trees are available, the children must go further and further in order to collect the wood.
\"In order to find a solution to the problem caused by burning wood, Moses resigned from his job and began to learn everything about renewable resources.
Eventually, he came across an increasingly popular practice of turning organic waste into fuel.
\"I looked out the window and saw a huge pile of sugar cane debris,\" he said . \".
\"Uganda is mainly agriculture, but agricultural waste has just been abandoned.
So Moses began to design the kiln and the press machine with the engineering students.
Four years later, 2,500 farmers used his kiln to turn coffee shells and waste from sugar cane and rice into charcoal.
A company founded by Moses called Eco
Fuel Africa, buy charcoal and make it into a coal ball for cooking, cleaner and cheaper than wood burning.
Uganda\'s rate of deforestation has soared, meaning there will be no forest in the country by 2050.
Emerging Explorers and huge energy challenge grantees Sanga Moses are trying to change that.
The company has brought these coal balls to market to fuel more than 19,000 Ugandan households. (

\"Burning fuel wood not only destroys trees in Uganda, but also affects the health and educational opportunities of our poorest people,\" Moses said . \".

Eight out of ten people in the area Cook and warm on wood.
As more forests are destroyed to Meet Uganda\'s needs, 70% of protected forests are the ones where families have to go more miles a day to buy wood that is becoming more scarce and expensive.
Households in the developing world spend 40% of their income on cooking fuel.
This means that poor farmers, in addition to leaving their children less time for education, cannot afford fertilizer, resulting in an impact on the harvest and increased malnutrition.
Wood burning has a huge impact on human health, producing smoky indoor air, leading to respiratory diseases, killing more women and children each year than HIV/AIDS. Cleaning lady of Moses

Fuel Africa has doubled their income by selling charcoal from brick kilns.
The thicker carbon residue is used as a fertilizer, which can increase the harvest by more than 50% and create the remaining crops to be sold on the market.
Sanga Moses is working to provide cheap energy to Africans while preventing deforestation.
National Geographic creatives Kat Keene Hogue also opposes deforestation, investing in profits to plant 12,000 new trees, and working with local schools to reforest as part of environmental education.
