Thiqah Ecoworks recovers organic waste in Uganda — coffee husk, biosolids, crop residue — and composts it into tested soil amendments for land that has stopped holding water and nutrients.
Four lines of work along one loop. Waste leaves a site, is processed into an input, and goes back into the ground. Any single part of it can be contracted on its own.
Agricultural, municipal, industrial and organic waste converted into compost, soil conditioners, biochar and organic fertiliser. The blend is formulated for the soil it is going into, not produced as one product for every buyer.
Degraded farmland, eroded slopes, exhausted soils. We test what the soil is short of, design the amendment and vegetation programme around that gap, and measure the result across the seasons that follow.
Assessment and reporting for projects that have to satisfy a regulator, a lender or a funder. We write to the standard the reviewer will apply, and we say plainly where the evidence is thin rather than dressing it up.
Sourcing, sorting, crushing, sizing, packaging and export of coffee husk, agricultural residues and other biomass. Preparation happens in Uganda, so what arrives at the destination is ready to use.
Where organic matter falls below about one percent, there is nothing in the soil to hold moisture against gravity. Irrigation passes the root zone within hours and drains beyond it, taking dissolved fertiliser down with it.
Compost changes the physical structure, not just the nutrient content. Husk-derived organic matter builds pore space and surface area that keeps water where roots can reach it, so the same irrigation does more work.
Water both columns and watch where it ends up.
Illustration of the physical principle. Not measured field data.
Compost made from waste can carry pathogens and heavy metals. This sequence exists to catch that before application rather than after it.
Lab analysis of the feedstock and the receiving soil: nutrients, organic matter, moisture, contaminants, and what the site is actually short of.
Blend ratio, carbon to nitrogen balance, moisture target and application rate set for that site and that material.
Controlled windrow composting on a turning and temperature schedule, then maturity, pathogen and heavy metal screening before anything leaves the pad.
Field application, then tracking of organic matter, water-holding capacity and yield over following seasons, reported back to you.
Two waste streams, one amendment. Treated sewage sludge brings nitrogen, phosphorus and microbial life. Coffee husk brings the carbon, structure and porosity that hold both water and nutrients in the root zone instead of letting them drain.
Uganda produces coffee husk in volume as a processing by-product. Arid regions produce biosolids in volume as a by-product of urban growth. Composted together under a controlled process, they consume each other's disposal problem and produce a soil amendment that neither could make alone.
The full technical package — methodology, risk assessment, quality control plan, monitoring framework, budget and logical framework matrix — is prepared and available to serious counterparties on request.
Waste you need moved, land that has stopped producing, or a report a regulator is waiting on. Start with what is in front of you.
