From Waste to Opportunity with Madrin Maina of Sistema.bio

In this episode, we explore the power of transforming organic waste into renewable energy with Madrin Maina, the Africa Director of Sistema.bio, a social enterprise that is creating opportunities through its patented biodigester technology. Madrin shares her journey as an entrepreneur — what inspired her path, the challenges she’s faced, and how her leadership is helping families and farmers save money, reclaim time, and improve their quality of life. Along the way, we explore the ripple effects of clean energy: healthier communities, stronger local economies, and a more sustainable planet. Sistema.bio is part of the portfolio of social enterprises supported through the Miller Center–Chevron Climate Resilience Initiative, which strives to help reduce poverty, drive economic and social opportunities, and develop the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Asia Pacific region.
