Description
Addlight Mudombo unfolds one of her quilts. Now that she has has a biodigester that heats her stove, she no longer needs to travel long distances to gather firewood to fuel her cooking. She uses her free time to hand sew colourful quilts like these ones.
Personal/Project impact
As a recipient of SCORE's biodigester, Addlight Mudombo can cook quickly and efficiently on her gas stove instead of spending time searching for firewood to make a traditional cookfire. She uses her extra time to supervise employees and crop quality on the family farm, she co-manages with her husband, Elnathan Mboweni. The slurry from the biodigester also is used as fertilizer for the crops that they sell. Together, they also have time to create handsewn pieced quilts to sell for extra income. Many people come to them to learn how a biodigester works.
