Sanitation and Biogas

Biogas generators improve sanitation, while producing clean burning methane and rich agricultural fertilizer.

  • Rwanda is a known innovator of biogas technologies. Biogas generators take human, animal and agricultural waste and convert it into usable methane and rich fertilizer.
  • This methane burns cleanly for cooking, producing emissions 20 times cleaner for the environment than the otherwise naturally emitted methane.

High efficiency cookstoves reduce firewood use and eliminate indoor air pollution.

  • Manna’s innovative cookstoves use the ‘rocket stove’ concept in combination with locally available pumice stone.
  • The stoves reduce wood usage by 50%-70% and eliminate disease causing toxic smoke.
