From Firewood to Clean Cooking | Biogas Transforming Body of Christ Children’s Home, Limuru

At Body of Christ Children’s Home in Limuru, over 120 children and staff depend on one kitchen for their daily meals. For years, the home relied entirely on firewood — a costly, time-consuming, and unsustainable solution. Every three months, a full lorry of firewood costing approximately KSh 45,000 was required. Beyond the cost, firewood meant smoke-filled kitchens, long cooking hours, health risks for staff, and pressure on surrounding forests. This project introduced a cleaner, renewable solution through the installation of a T-Rex M50 biogas system, with support from Let’s Go Travel and Impulse 21. The prefabricated, multi-chamber biogas digester runs on kitchen waste, food leftovers, invasive plant species, and animal dung to produce clean cooking gas. A solar thermal heater boosts gas production by warming the system from below, ensuring reliable performance even in cooler conditions. To improve cooking efficiency, the project also supplied two 50-kilogram pressure cookers, significantly reducing cooking time and energy use. Kitchen staff were trained on system operation, safe use of the organic waste shredder, and daily feeding procedures. Today, meals are cooked faster, kitchens are smoke-free, costs have been reduced, and organic waste is turned into energy and bio-fertiliser — supporting both nutrition and sustainability at the children’s home. This project demonstrates how biogas can transform institutions such as children’s homes, schools, hospitals, and communities by replacing firewood with clean, renewable energy. 📍 Location: Limuru, Kenya ⚙️ System: T-Rex M50 Biogas Digester 👥 Beneficiaries: 120+ children & staff If your institution is ready to transition to clean cooking, talk to us today.
