IMPACT of 89 TAHUDE Biogas Loans and government incentives for risk control

By Askwar Hilonga | Director

IMPACT of 89 Biodigesters built by TAHUDE/Gongali

Highlight:

1. IMPACT of the 89 Biodigesters

2. Tsh.175,000 as the government incentive to absorb loan risks

This quarter TAHUDE celebrates for being recognized and selected for incentive to absorb its biogas loan risks. The government of Tanzania through Tanzania Domestic Biogas Program (TDBP) gives TAHUDE Tsh.175,000 per every biogas loan. This fund is given to absorb unforeseen risks of unexpected defaulters

With this incentive, we can now move forward with confidence, even among the most poor community members. Now they are given an extension of up to 2 years for their loan repayment.

We would have not easily attracted the government attention to our project if we did not receive enough support from you and your colleagues who are helping us through TDBP.

With 89 biodigesters it built, TAHUDE is now the second large biogas promoter in Tanzania. Please consider a table on statistics on IMPACT. See the tons of trees saved, carbon dioxide emissions protected, and the trees planted. Women and girls are particularly grateful because the pain of collecting firewood for about 2 hours every day is GONE!

Your continue support is highly valued and we promise to continue making positive IMPACT for the environment, health, and people. We have created jobs for 15 biogas technicians, sales to the materials suppliers, and incentive to biogas promoters.

ASANTE SANA!

Tanzanian Leaders DETERMINED to boost Biogas Progr

By Askwar Hilonga | Director

Government Leaders gave AMAZING support

20th Nov. 2016 will continue to ring in people ears in Karatu - Arusha for many many years. It was a special day dedicated to biogas promotion, along with other appropriate technologies developed at Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology and disseminated by Gongali Model and TAHUDE Foundation.

The government leaders were so proud of the biogas project and they publicly declared their relentless support for the project. By Sept 2016 TAHUDE Foundation has already built 90 biodigesters that serve more than 500 people. These digesters have served 41 Hectors of trees that would have been cut for firewood and more than 5,000 tons of organic fertilizer to boost crop production. The environmental benefits for climate change mitigation is also enormous because each biodiger stops 4 tons of carbondioxide that would have been emitted to destroy ozone and/or increase global warming.

We are so humbled by the commitment shown by the government leaders in Karatu District and Arusha Region on 20th Nov. 2016. This has paved doors for our biogas project to penetrate to every household. There are about 9 million households in Tanzania and more than 80% are in rural areas where almost everyone has got cows. Only two cows are enough to run the biodigester that can give enough gas for cooking for the whole family of up to six people - three meals a day; and 60 tons of organic fertilizer per year to increase the crop production.

We are determined to scale-up our project in 2017. We anticipate your relentless support through GlobalGiving and its partners. This is a win-win project because environmental degradation or let say global warming does not respect country boarders - it affect all every living creature on earth. So it is our joint responsibility to save our world for the threats of climate change.

WE ARE HERE TO PARTNER WITH YOU!

THANKS FOR YOUR RELENTLESS SUPPORT!
