Improving the management of renewable energy and resources

Humanium trains the villagers to use renewable energy, such as solar energy, or rainwater harvesting to strenghten farming activities. Moreover, water collection tanks are set up/retrofit to improve clean water storage capabilities.

Training on the use of organic fertilizer

The use of chemical fertilizers has led to water pollution and soil degradation. Information sessions about the use of soil improvement methods that are respectful of humans and nature are provided. Likewise, training on organic fertilizer production techniques are offered to interested farmers. These techniques have the advantage of preserving the environment while optimizing farm production.

Introducing biogaz
