Wonderbag launched the Recipe for Change Grouped Project (2384) in South Africa in 2019, registered under Verra (VCS) with a start date of 15 March 2019. The project is renewable every seven years for three cycles, giving it a total lifespan of 21 years.

It currently includes the first three completed monitoring periods and is now undergoing the fourth issuance (see below).

The project operates across rural and peri-urban areas, targeting communities most affected by climate change, energy poverty, and economic vulnerability. Wonderbags are subsidized to make them affordable for these households, with carbon finance providing the necessary support to maintain accessibility.

Given the severe climate crises South Africa has faced over the past five years, the need for climate-resilient projects offering alternative cooking energy solutions is more urgent than ever.

The project is registered on the Verra registry and is COAS eligible in South Africa.
