Biogas scheme helps provide fuel for Philippines orphanage | |
|
||
 |
We have had a long association with a refuge in the Philippines that takes in children aged from 7 to 13 years, providing assistance to improve facilities and conditions at the orphanage. Our projects have included road construction and dormitory construction.
With a daily requirement to feed some 80 children and staff, one of the biggest operating expenses is food and food preparation. A number of pigs provide pork for consumption and sale. However, the bottled gas used for cooking has to be purchased, and is an expensive commodity. We are currently helping to build a small biogas facility that will convert waste manure from the pigs into methane gas. The methane produced will be piped into the kitchens and used to supplement existing bottled gas supplies. The fertiliser that is also produced will find ready use in the adjacent vegetable plots belonging to the refuge. The benefits of the scheme are improved farm waste management, gas supplies for the kitchens and improved yields in the vegetable plot - a sustainable benefit for the orphanage and its children. |
