Our Story

Born out of both pain and hope

Brispark was born from personal tragedy and a vision for change. I grew up in a farming community where agricultural waste was burned in the open air, left to rot, or used in ways that harmed the environment.

Like many families, we relied heavily on firewood and charcoal for cooking. I remember the countless trees cut down just to fuel kitchens, and the thick smoke that filled our home. It seemed normal until it took away the person I loved most.

My mother passed away from complications linked to prolonged exposure to indoor smoke. Losing her was devastating. It wasn't just the loss of a mother, but the painful realization that something as basic as cooking could destroy lives and our environment at the same time.

Her death planted a seed in me: the determination to find a safer, healthier, and more sustainable way for families to cook, farm, and live. Together with like-minded co-founders who shared my passion for clean energy, women's empowerment, and environmental justice, we built Brispark.

At Brispark, we transform agricultural waste into eco-friendly briquettes and clean energy solutions. But more than that, we are transforming grief into purpose, waste into opportunity, and challenges into hope.

Brispark is not just an enterprise—it is a promise. A promise to honor my mother's memory, to protect families, and to fight for a greener, healthier, and more equitable future for all.
