Kericho, Kenya
600 chicken
The case
In Kericho, a young family with 600 chickens found themselves struggling with the rising costs of LPG, firewood, and charcoal. Looking for a sustainable solution, they decided to invest in a biodigester from Sistema.bio.
Three years later, their decision has not only helped reduce household expenses but has brought numerous benefits that extend beyond energy savings.
The solution
Thanks to their biogas system, the family now generates enough biogas to meet all their cooking needs, including providing fuel for the elderly mother who lives next door.
The money they once spent on fossil fuels is now channeled into other essential needs, like school fees for their three children. Additionally, the biofertilizer produced has boosted their small kitchen garden, resulting in surplus vegetables that they can sell to neighbors for extra income.
The biogas solution has not only improved their financial stability but has also had a positive environmental impact, creating a cleaner, healthier household environment.
With the time saved from reduced firewood collection and cooking, the wife has even been able to open a small shop, further supplementing the family’s income.
