Safaricom customers can now redeem their Bonga Points to acquire biodigesters or donate points to other farmers across Kenya following a partnership with Sistema.bio.
Dubbed ‘Bonga for Biogas’, the deal seeks to empower smallholder farmers with renewable energy by turning livestock waste into clean biogas and organic fertilizer, while reducing methane emissions, improving food security, and advancing gender equity.
Fawzia Ali-Kimanthi, Chief Consumer Business Officer, Safaricom PLC, said that this campaign aligns with their broader commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals particularly on climate action, clean energy, and reduced inequalities while also advancing our purpose of transforming lives.
“We believe that the Bonga for Biogas initiative will transform the lives of smallholder farmers across the country,” said Ali-Kimanthi.
Sistema.bio Africa Director, Eng. Madrin Maina said the campaign amplifies the organization’s mission to unlock regenerative agriculture across Kenya and the wider African region.
“Smallholder farmers are truly the backbone of Kenya’s economy, but many still struggle to access clean, affordable energy.
The ‘Bonga for Biogas’ campaign will help farmers turn waste into clean energy and improve their lives and we couldn’t ask for a better ally than Safaricom to scale this impact,” she said.
The three-year campaign aims to accelerate access to clean energy for smallholder farmers.
Customers and organizations are urged also to donate their Bonga Points to support other farmers who qualify for assistance, expanding the reach of clean energy solutions across communities.
