African Bamboo is turning bamboo waste into a powerful tool for Sidama’s farmers! By producing biochar, we’re addressing the rising costs of fertilizer and improving soil health across the region. Our training has empowered four MSMEs to produce biochar locally, reducing fertilizer costs by up to 58% for farmers and boosting crop yields by 13%. Beyond agriculture, this initiative is creating over 7,500 job opportunities, making a lasting impact on youth and women in Sidama. Together, we’re building a more sustainable and prosperous future for Ethiopia!
