Environmental research

The improper disposing of farm and kitchen wastes, including waste water, has resulted in environmental degradation and breeding spots for mosquitoes; which pose as a health hazard to the boys and staff. Improper disposal of piggery wastes has produced foul odors and affected interactions with neighbours. In addition, the need for fertilizers will increase and in turn will the expenditures. The project poses to cut down costs and ensure proper disposal of farm wastes by using the wastes in the production of fertilizers and biogas, reducing the usage of cooking gas starting at 30%. The project would require construction of a bio digester to convert waste water and products into biogas, and production of fertilizer for crops.
