Our Shujaa -The Inspiring Success Story of Margaret Wanja

On this Mashujaa Day, we celebrate the inspirational journey of Margaret Wanja, a dedicated farmer and mother of three. With the help of a biogas kit from our partner Jawabu Biashara Limited, she has transformed her farm and home, significantly changing her life.

A Move Toward Sustainability

Living in Mugutha, Kiambu County, Margaret relied on traditional methods for her household and farm. However, with rising firewood costs and a desire for a more efficient, environmentally friendly solution, she turned to Jawabu Biashara.

Saving Costs and Protecting the Environment

The biogas kit has drastically reduced Margaret’s firewood usage. As a mother of three, including two school-age children, saving on household expenses is crucial. The biogas kit not only saves her time but also reduces her environmental footprint.

Boosting Farm Productivity

In addition to saving on household energy, the biogas kit generates slurry—a nutrient-rich byproduct that Margaret uses as organic fertilizer. This has led to impressive results: her crop yields and produce quality have significantly improved. As a result, she can sell more at the market and reinvest in her farm. “The slurry from the biogas has greatly enhanced my farm productivity,” says Margaret. “I see the positive results in every harvest.”

With two children in school, the financial relief from biogas and increased farm income has enabled Margaret to focus on her children’s education. “I want my children to have better opportunities,” she explains. “This biogas kit has improved our lives today and helps secure a better future.”

A Hero in Her Community

Margaret Wanja’s story exemplifies perseverance, innovation, and resilience. Her success highlights the Microleasing Fund’s impact on empowering small-scale farmers with sustainable and affordable solutions. By providing access to life-changing tools like biogas kits, we continue to support local farmers in building brighter futures for themselves and their families.
