The sanitation system at the Centre for Teenage Mothers comprises flushed toilets and pit latrines which are used by the majority (90%) of the population on campus. The practice is that when the pit latrines are full, the sewage is emptied into disposal holes that are dug in the compound. Every time it costs not less than M4, 000.00 of labour. This is often a risky and hazardous labour to casual workers. Furthermore, in the long run, there will not be enough space for the transfer of sewerage. It also takes a lot of space which hinders the development of the site that could be used for other learning purposes for teenage mothers as well as demonstration plots for food security for the sake of patients. The use of coal is currently putting the environment and human lives at risk because the smoke generated from burning coal pollute the air and the ashes inhaled in the form of dust affect patients and children?s lives on campus even the nearby villages since the plateau is very windy. Within the Thuathe Plateau, wood is mostly used with or without coal to make fire for cooking and heating and it is mainly collected from the communal forest or purchased. Without coal a lot of wood is used. This practice depletes the environment and causes extreme soil erosion. Furthermore, the cutting of limited forest trees exposes nature to less consumption of carbon dioxide and that becomes detrimental to human health as excessive carbon dioxide becomes under-utilised. Again, the buildings which are usually protected by the existence of trees then remain less safe against strong and harmful storms that are now associated with the current climate change.

The use of bottled gas has negative economic impact because The Centre For Teenage Mothers is dependent on donor funding hence the purchase of gas is very expensive including its transportation as it is not locally available. The Health Centre too struggles to raise and save funds because of free medical services that bring no income while expenses are continuously incurred. Therefore, resorting to biogas digester will help to cut off gas and transport expenses as there will now be affordable production of homemade gas by recycling waste human and animal products which are in abundance and readily available. Most importantly, the use of biogas will contribute to reduction of environmental factors contributing to global warming.

The main objective of the proposed project is to promote environmental conservation and eliminate human activities contributing to climate change by 2014, and a this will be achieved through:

- Creation of awareness among Makujoe Community about key factors affecting climate change
- Demonstration and promotion of renewable energy technologies through installation of a biogas digester at Good Shepherd Sisters? Campus for quality waste management
- Reclamation of land for farming by stopping to transfer sewerage to new holes
- Promotion of environmental cleanliness
- Collaboration with Makujoe Community beneficiaries and stakeholders in maintaining environmental conservation through among other things land reclamation and tree planting activities
- Elimination of air pollution by the Centre by non-use of coal for heating, food preservation and cooking at Good Shepherd Campus
