Mangana's story

Mangana lives in Kisii and, as many farmers in his region, he used to buy firewood to power his farm, but this has become a problem. Now trees are scarce, making it even more difficult for farmers to have affordable access to energy. Mangana plans to use a Sistema Biobolsa biodigester to eliminate wood, fossil fuels and chemical fertilizers from his farm.

With his 12-cubic-meter Sistema Biobolsa, he will transform his cows' manure into renewable energy and organic fertilizer, he and his family will be able to cook without smoke and stop spending time in chopping wood. Mangana’s family will also increase their vegetable productivity with the organic fertilizer that the biodigester will produce and give back to the soil the nutrients needed to reforest Kisii.

This loan represents 100% of the price of the biodigester.
