From Savings to Safety: How to Upgrade Your Kitchen with Mikashboks

Afrigras and Mikashboks team up with new Save to Buy Initiative 

Cooking at home just got a little easier—and a lot more accessible—for families across Sierra Leone. If you’ve been dreaming of making the switch to cleaner, safer, and faster cooking with gas but hesitated due to the upfront cost, there is exciting news that could change your kitchen routine for the better.

A powerful new partnership between AfriGas and the digital savings platform MiKashBoks is here to help you ditch the struggle of traditional cooking methods. They have launched a “Save to Buy” initiative, designed specifically to help you plan, save, and eventually afford the quality cooking stove your home deserves.

Forget about the pressure of large, one-time payments or the worry of high-interest loans. This partnership is all about flexibility. Whether you are managing household expenses or saving from your own income, the “Save to Buy” model puts you in the driver’s seat:

• Choose Your Goal: Pick the exact AfriGas product you need, such as the efficient 6kg complete set, which is a game-changer for daily meal prep.
• Set Your Pace: You decide on a savings plan that fits your budget.
• Make Small Deposits: Through the MiKashBoks platform, you make regular, manageable deposits. It’s “small-small” saving that adds up to a big result.
• Start Cooking: Once you hit your target, the equipment is yours—no debt, no stress.

Why It Matters

For many, this is about more than just a stove; it’s about saving time and creating a healthier environment for your family. Transitioning to clean cooking energy means faster meals, less smoke, and a safer home.

Salton Massally, founder of MiKashBoks, emphasizes that the platform is built on the belief that consistent, small steps lead to major life improvements.

“Through our partnership with AfriGas, customers can now turn small, regular deposits into products that improve their everyday lives,” Massally said.

Sahid Swaid, CEO of AfriGas, notes that this initiative is all about meeting customers where they are. “We want to make safe and reliable clean cooking products accessible in a way that matches how you already manage your finances,” he shared.
