Many exciting things are happening with our Biogas Project in this quarter, along with the successful completion of the Biogas Loan Project supported by the United States African Development Foundation (USADF). USADF was very impressed to learn the IMPACT we made with the first grant they provided to TAHUDE Foundation. With this grant, TAHUDE was able to reach 534 people with green energy (environmentally friendly biogas from cow-dung).
USADF is now planning to extend its support probably from Oct / Nov 2017. With this, TAHUDE will touch another hundreds of lives in underserved communities in Tanzania. The project, along with avoiding carbon dioxide emission, also rejuvenate soil by using the organic fertilizer which is the waste product from the biogas system. TAHUDE also gave 8,000 trees to local people in the villages where the biogas project is being implemented.
We are grateful to the GlobalGiving supporters, though they were not many this time. I am sure our impressive success story with this USADF support will inspire many other donors to join our effort. The need is big because about 94% of Tanzanian population still depends on firewood for cooking. This should NOT be tolerated in this 21st Century (cutting trees for cooking!? NO!).
THANKS FOR CONSIDERING OUR PLEA FOR THIS PROJECT THAT BENEFIT EVERYONE ON EARTH (if our local people stop cutting trees then everyone on earth will benefit the free and fresh oxygen from trees)
