"Creating value from waste"- Sistema BioBolsa
Did you know that cleaner and greener biogas fuel can be created from cow dung?
Waste from cows can be converted into fertiliser and usable biogas using a biodigester, which adds bacteria to break down the manure.
These systems can help rural communities in several ways. The environment is healthier because more farm waste is utilised and less wood is needed for fuel. Females are more empowered because of the time and energy they save, and their health is also improved because they no longer have to breathe in fumes from their cooking fires.
Sistema Biobolsa is a social enterprise that installs biogas systems in partnership with Shell Foundation.
We caught up with them in Kenya, where our creatives documented how Sistema BioBolsa programmes are helping rural communities. To learn more about the benefits of biogas and Sistema BioBolsa, check out our inspiring video: ow.ly/mOTb30jGqZw
