Build a Biogas system for a family in Tanzania

This quarter we reached another milestone of introducing our biogas project in new District of Mbulu in Manyara Region - Tanzania.

Our progress this quarter:

i. Four (4) biogas are completed

ii. Four (4) biogas construction is ongoing

iii. Eight (8) have submitted their forms and six (6) will submit by next week.

Our target was to complete 20 biogas systems but the weather condition (it was the rain season) limited our operations. Now the rain has ended - we are moving fast, from July 2018.

In this quarter we were able to conduct the first public marketing and training session in Mbulu District, Manyara Region. The program was accompanied by reforestation program in which we distributed a total of 540 trees to all 108 people who attended. The program was covered by media, as shown in the below link and a representative photo.

Also we established a good networking with other NGOs and got training on a remote sensor installation. As explained above, our main challenge in this quarter was the "rain season". But it is over now. We have agree with the district agriculture officer and district cooperative officer of Mbulu district to organize a training to all Mbulu cooperative members to sensitize them through their groups. This will give us access to hundreds of members of those cooperative groups.

With your support, we are planning to hit our target of 700 beneficiaries by end of 2020. Please kindly see how you can assist us to scale-up our campaign. There are many ways you can help us - not only through financial support. Please kindly let us know how you would like to be involved more.

I humbly submit
