What are Carbon Credits?
Every day our actions leave behind a carbon footprint. The travel, food, and home energy choices we make generate greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. In RI’s 17 countries of operation, our teams witness the negative effects of climate change day in, day out.
When you buy Carbon Credits from Relief International, you lessen your personal impact on the environment and help bring us closer to a carbon-neutral world.
We reinvest your funds across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East to help in the fight against climate change.
You can’t live a zero-emissions life. But you can take action to reduce your carbon footprint and build greater climate resilience around the world.

Generating Carbon Credits -The Gyapa™ Cookstoves Project
We’ve cut more than 5 million tons of CO2 emissions in Ghana through our fuel-efficient Gyapa™ Cookstove project. Developed alongside Ghanaian communities, the Gyapa project provides clean, efficient cookstoves to families. To date, nearly 2 million stoves have been made by local artisans and sold across the country, each one, using only half the fuel of traditional alternatives. These innovative stoves not only cut carbon emissions and reduce local deforestation, but also save families money and create local employment. As a Gold Standard certified project, Gyapa then converts emission reductions into Verified Emission Reductions - Carbon Credits for purchase. You can buy these credits to offset your footprint, and the money you spend will be sent to the fragile communities we support in the process.
Investing with Confidence
We are proud to have our Carbon Credits program independently verified by the Gold Standard. Third-party monitoring in coordination with the CO2 emissions experts at ClimateCare ensures our project is providing a real reduction in carbon. To put it simply, it’s verified impact.
