Build a Biogas system for a family in Tanzania

This quarter we have breaking news to share with our partners at GlobalGiving platform. We have been working for our biogas project for long long time but significantly realized the challenge our beneficiaries are facing on failure to create income generating source through biogas. Indeed, biogas was more on saving money that would have been used to purchase firewood for cooking; of course this is a big plus to environment and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. But the beneficiaries did not have a direct income from biogas – NOTHING TO SELL!

This situation will change soon after our successful grant application on “organic fertilizer” from the biogas systems – to be sponsored by the Government of Tanzania through Skills Development Fund (SDF). We are shortlisted for this grant and hopefully by the end of this month (Sept 2019) we will be able to start this project.

We are so grateful to our supporters through GlobalGiving platform and others like United States African Development Foundation (USADF). It is through your previous support that we are now able to present “evidence based success stories” that is creating further opportunity to IMPACT more peoples’ lives. Through organic fertilizer product our beneficiaries will be able to generate income of up to Tsh.100,000 (about USD 45) per month by selling the organic fertilizer, let alone the possibility of greatly increasing the crop harvests – since they will be applying this organic fertilizer into their farms.

For more information about this project please keep reading our future reports or directly contact me through my email: hilonga@gmail.com
