the kanga project want to install a biogas system to fuel some cookers at a secondary school in rural Tanzania. This eco-friendly system is the only viable way of feeding at least 1 meal to over 1000 pupils who start and finish their study day on an empty stomach. Results: poor concentration, fragile health and academic under achievement. Running a kitchen using wood and charcoal is costly, unhealthy and bad for the environment especially deforestation. The area already suffers from deforestation but has no alternative fuel resources.
A biogas system produces gas for cooking using human, animal or vegetable waste. This means that it becomes feasible to run a kitchen at not cost to the environment or to the students as far as energy is concerned. The by-product slurry can then be used as fertilizers for a garden to produce raw food. Nutritious and plentiful food is essential for growing bodies and minds to function at their optimum. It also helps build the skilled workforce that Tanzania needs to rid itself of poverty. For more projects, please visit our website.
