How Sistema.Bio Is Improving Kenyans’ lives through Affordable Biogas Solutions.
Ann Kagendo (pictured below) got her biogas installation over one year ago. Before this, she was cooking with firewood.
Apart from being a tedious job, it was time consuming and she constantly smelled of smoke.
She was also shocked when she took her ailing mother to the hospital and the doctor asked her mother: “How long have you been smoking cigarettes?”
“I was shocked. My mother had never smoked a cigarette her in life!” said Ann.
“She, however, has always cooked with firewood. Could the smoke have caused this?”Ann wondered.
Yes, it could, her doctor confirmed. Cooking with firewood and charcoal over an extended time exposes one’s lungs to the risk of diseases.
Despite Ann’s mother not smoking, her lung report showed extreme damage. The elderly woman was also surprised that this is a common story in Kenya, for women who frequently cook with firewood.
The medical report fuelled Ann’s desire to get a biogas unit for her mother. Recently Ann joined Sistema.bio, as a sales agent; the company that sold and installed her biogas unit, determined to spread the biogas gospel to farmers across the country.
With two biodigester sales under her belt in her first week, Ann is on track to helping her mother and many other Kenyans’ enjoy clean and affordable energy.
“I share with the farmers how they can save money by switching to biogas, teach them how to grow healthy food using the biofertilizer, a bi-product of the animal waste processed and tell them how this rich organic mixture from my Sistema 12 biogas unit, is enough to fertilise my 2 acre shamba and that I no longer need or use harsh chemicals on my farm,” she adds.
“Above all, smoke, is no longer a guest in my house,” she says.
