For years, these households have relied on wood fuel as their primary energy source for cooking. This practice not only contributed to deforestation but also exposed families—especially women and children—to the harmful effects of indoor air pollution, including respiratory diseases.
Thanks to the newly installed Flexi Biogas systems, these communities now have a sustainable alternative that will significantly reduce reliance on firewood and create healthier living environments.
To give you a closer look at the impact we’ve made, here’s a gallery showcasing the installation process, beneficiary households, and the smiles that come with clean energy:
The Flexi Biogas Impact
With these 32 domestic Flexi Biogas systems, we aim to tackle multiple challenges at once:
- Cleaner cooking fuel: Each biogas unit processes household and organic waste, converting it into clean biogas for cooking, replacing harmful smoke-emitting firewood.
- Sustainable waste management: The biogas digesters help reduce organic waste by converting it into usable cooking gas and nutrient-rich bio-fertilizer, which can be applied to the farms to improve crop yields.
- Health benefits: By reducing exposure to indoor air pollutants, the Flexi Biogas units will help mitigate health risks such as respiratory illnesses caused by firewood smoke.
- Environmental conservation: By eliminating the need to cut down trees for firewood, these biogas systems help reduce deforestation, making a positive impact on the environment.
Partnership with Flint Global
This transformative project would not have been possible without the collaborative efforts of Flint Global, our dedicated partner in this initiative.
Together, we have worked tirelessly to ensure that these vulnerable communities in Tanzania have access to sustainable energy solutions.
Flint Global has played a crucial role in the training and support provided to these households, ensuring they can operate and maintain their biogas systems effectively.
The Numbers Behind the Project
- 32 biogas systems installed in Tanzania across various vulnerable communities.
- Each system can process approximately 40 kilograms of waste daily, producing around 2,000–3,000 liters of biogas daily.
- Each household now has access to enough biogas to meet daily cooking needs, eliminating the need for firewood.
In addition to providing clean energy, the bio-fertilizer produced by the biogas units is used to enhance soil fertility, enabling households to grow healthier crops without the need for chemical fertilizers.
Why Flexi Biogas?
The Flexi Biogas system is a game-changer for communities with limited access to energy. Here’s why:
- Easy to install: Flexi Biogas units are prefabricated, allowing for a quick and hassle-free installation.
- Low maintenance: The systems are designed to be user-friendly, requiring minimal technical knowledge for operation and maintenance.
- Cost-effective: Not only do households save on the cost of firewood, but the bio-fertilizer produced can also generate income by selling the surplus to neighboring farmers.
Long-Term Impact on Communities
The long-term impact of the Flexi Biogas systems extends far beyond just providing clean energy.
By reducing the time spent on firewood collection, families—especially women and girls—now have more time to focus on education, income-generating activities, and personal development.
Additionally, the reduction in deforestation helps protect the local environment, making these communities more resilient in the face of climate change.

Looking Forward: A Greener Tomorrow
This project is just the beginning of what we hope will be a larger movement toward sustainable energy across Tanzania and beyond.
We are excited to continue working with communities, government agencies, and partners like Flin Global to empower more households with clean energy solutions.
