Our Biogas Project, just like many other businesses around the world, was also hit by COVID-19. Nevertheless, we are so grateful to many partners who stepped in and intervened in this time of need. Among many others is the United States Africa Development Foundation (USADF) which provided $10,000 to assist our biogas customers to build organic fertilizer units. Moreover, we are grateful to the government of Tanzania for providing Tsh. 131,000,000 ($56,956) for skills development through (SDF) through Tanzania Education Authority (TEA). The main objective is to advance skills for harnessing organic fertilizer to boost crop production and generate income for biogas customers in rural areas and create job opportunity for the youth / technicians. With this grant we are determined to strengthen our biogas customers through a project with the following objectives:
1. To empower 100 technicians with skills of building organic fertilizer processing units
2. To train and support the current 300 biogas customers to generate income from organic fertilizer
3. To increase the income of the biogas customers by Tsh.100,000 per month
You are kindly WELCOME to partner with us, as it is convenient to you.
Along with the Organic Fertilizer – which is environmentally friendly - the promotion of cow-dung based green energy will reduce deforestation, carbon dioxide emission to mitigate climate change and make the rural communities resilient / adapt to climate change, as evidenced here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz4s443Jzr4.
