AIDG Blog [Appropriate Technology, Development, Environment]

Maarten Graveland (AIDG intern) and Candido Ichel (Xelateco employee) have spent this last week in Tierra Colorada installing a biodigester system for Dona Lety. Dona Lety is a victim of domestic violence, and AIDG has donated this system to her and her 4 children to help offset expensive fuel costs and provide fertilizer to increase her crop’s productivity.

In this picture, Maarten is showing Lety how to mix pig manure with water before dumping it into the biodigester. Each day, she is to add more manure or food scraps. In the coming weeks, gas will be produced and Dona Lety will have a source of clean burning fuel.
