Harvesting Energy From Waste

Even when there are soaring food and fuel prices in Kenya, people have come up with new ways to fight against these problems and they are doing so by harnessing the power of sewage and sunshine is a god sent idea to Kenyans. The foul smell rising from a sewage ditch may have worsened by heating sun, but for some enterprising residents, it's the smell of progress. Kenyans living in some of the informal settlements of the country have made latrines to recycle human waste into gas to use it for cooking and light. Some of the people are assisted by the foreign organizations to use sunlight to purify drinking water that has drastically slashed the cases of waterborne disease. These schemes are proving to be a boon to many poor Kenyan who survive on less than a dollar for the day.
