Safaricom has rolled out yet another pathway of turning loyalty into impact. Through a new partnership with clean energy company Sistema.bio, Safaricom customers can now use their Bonga Points to purchase biodigesters or donate them to help fellow farmers across Kenya access clean energy. 

The initiative, dubbed ‘Bonga for Biogas’, is part of a three-year campaign aimed at accelerating access to renewable energy among smallholder farmers.

“This campaign aligns with our broader commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals particularly on climate action, clean energy, and reduced inequalities while also advancing our purpose of transforming lives. We believe that the Bonga for Biogas initiative will transform the lives of smallholder farmers across the country,” said Fawzia Ali-Kimanthi, Chief Consumer Business Officer, Safaricom PLC.

Sistema.bio Africa Director, Eng. Madrin Maina said the campaign amplifies the organization’s mission to unlock regenerative agriculture across Kenya and the wider African region.

"Smallholder farmers are truly the backbone of Kenya’s economy, but many still struggle to access clean, affordable energy. The ‘Bonga for Biogas’ campaign will help farmers turn waste into clean energy and improve their lives and we couldn’t ask for a better ally than Safaricom to scale this impact,” she said.

At the heart of the partnership is a simple yet powerful idea: convert livestock waste into clean biogas and organic fertilizer—offering farmers a sustainable energy source, reducing methane emissions, boosting food security, and promoting gender equity on the farm.

How It Works

Every Safaricom user earns Bonga Points through their daily usage. Under this new campaign, customers can now use those points in two impactful ways:

Redeem for a biodigester: Dial *126#98 to use your Bonga Points and acquire a Sistema.bio biodigester for your own farm. These systems help farmers turn animal waste into clean cooking gas and nutrient-rich organic fertilizer.

Donate to others: Don’t need a digester yourself? Safaricom allows you to donate your Bonga Points to help other farmers in need. Your contribution could transform another farmer’s life by helping them access sustainable, clean energy.
