Making money with SFI

One of the reasons why SFI is so successful is because it's so easy to get  started. In fact, you can immediately begin earning income from our profit sharing program just by scoring "VersaPoints."  What's a VersaPoint?  Very simply, VersaPoints (VP) are points we award to affiliates for performing actions listed on their To-Do List (actions that will help you become successful in SFI).  Learn more about VersaPoints HERE.
Each time you complete an action on your SFI To-Do List, you instantly earn the points attached to that action. Some actions are worth 10 points, some 20 points, some as much as 150 points.  Earn as many VersaPoints as you can each month.  The more VP you score, the more you can earn from our profit sharing program.  The more VP you score, the higher your rank in SFI can go, too!

GOLD OR GARBAGE

Gone are the days when waste plastic papers would hang on trees, or waste water bottles scattered everywhere.  In today's world, technology has proved that anything can become a source of income.  Interestingly municipal waste is no longer a health hazard but a source of income; only if managed well.

In Africa most dumpsites are open and are not well managed, however we see lots of people hanging around the sites from morning to evening.  They sample together a particular waste which is later collected from the site back to industrial areas.  Some of the waste is very dirty and need to be washed before being transported.  These expose the person working at the dumpsite to various hazards.

Things can be made easier and everyone make money out of what they dispose.  Sorting waste when disposing it is a key process of making recycling a reality and dumpsite a thing of the past.  Waste shopping paper-bags are recycled to something useful i.e. Composite plastic wood, Tshirts, mats carpets etc. and therefore can be disposed off in a separate bin.  This can be combined with waste plastic containers.  Both are sold to waste collectors who particularly are interested with such for manufacturer raw material. The plastic waste cost approximately Ksh.10-15 per KG.  For an average home, plastic waste from HDPE, LDPE and PET plastic containers can sell approximately 20KG per week meaning making KSh300 per week from plastic waste.

Other waste products like metal, cans and electronic waste have ready market and can be disposed off at recommended waste centers.  Soon solid waste will be of high demand to produce organic fertilizer, crude oil and bio-gas. There has been renewed interest in investing in waste management technologies for extracting energy where reuse is not possible.  Do not burn waste rather look for a way of reusing or extracting renewed material from it.  Sort at source to simplify and encourage the process of recycling.

Building Compliance

In Kenya, we recently heard news that houses without alternative power-energy installed will not be licensed or approved.  I see lots of houses coming up everyday and indeed solar water heater installed.  I am sure the owners or the occupants will agree with me that the installation of solar water heater is not just for purposes of compliance but is also a great benefit to our daily lives.There are several other solar solutions  for domestic use.  These includes solar Garden lights, solar Lamps, solar torches, solar lighting kits, solar off-grid and on-grid for full home utility, solar water pumps and many others already in the market.

With a solar water heater, that has a thermal controller, one only need very minimal electricity to boost water to hot temperatures during cold seasons.  One may enjoy warm showers and warm water for household cleaning yet the electricity bill remains minimal.  Solar energy is free and produces no pollution to the air.  It requires no processing but only a system to tap the sun rays and convert them into energy. The use of solar system is a benefit to the environment and one of the many solution being encouraged to protect the earth from destroying itself.

Prices of these solutions have gone down with lots of competition released to the market.  Many products work well giving lighting or expected output; however like many other products, there are poor qualities in the market that will not meet your expectation.  I recommend that everyone freely use at-least one solar system a day i.e. for phone charging, Laptop power, home lighting, water heating compound lighting, or floodlight for security lighting. Always target quality branded products that will not disappoint you.

Proper Waste Management


Municipal Waste is generated daily from domestic sector and industrial sector.  The mixed volume finds its way to the landfill / dumpsite where its left unattended.  A few individuals have created the heap of waste to be a source of their livelihood, where they collect materials and sell them to recycling companies within the cities.  The most popular of this is the plastic waste and metal whose percentage being recycled is very minimal . 


Landfills are operated as open dump with wastes scattered across the area. When materials are thrown away and left uncovered, they start decomposing and generate bad smells, and act as a breeding ground for flies, mosquitoes and other vectors. Lack of recycling and reduction initiatives, poor waste collection systems, open dumpsites, and environmental pollution are still common in many regions within the country especially in the cities. There are different types of waste in the dumpsites which is mainly generated from household, offices, hotels, shops, schools, open area and other similar institutions.  The waste is identified as
  • Plastic Waste
  • Paper / Carton / Cardboard
  • Tins / Metal / Glass
  • Green or Solid Waste
  • E-Waste
  • Hazardous waste from hospitals and manufacturers
A solution need to be addresses and solve the waste to proper management and control.  With the development of industries, county governments need to embrace technologies that will see the municipal waste handled carefully to not only save the environment but also as a way of creating jobs. 

Upgrading of the existing waste disposal sites with technology to achieve and sustain proper landfill operation would be a great achievement. By introducing pre-sorting stations, the sort process will reduce and eliminate every type of waste leaving only solid waste to a system that can produce organic fertilizer.

Several types of waste can be reused and recycled for profit. Governments focus on waste management will be contributing to a more sustainable solution by:

  • Advancing technologies to reduce waste
  • Increasing recycling and re-use
  • Advocate for proper waste management innovation from source


In consideration to these waste types, gases and water for establishing and operating waste disposal facility, upgrading existing waste disposal sites with technology to achieve and sustain proper landfill operation is a better practice that should be encouraged. Suggested is:   

  1. Pre-Sorting and dealing with Waste products and semi processing at site:  Plastic waste be cleaned, sorted into different categories for further processing.  Paper, Carton Cardboard be sorted from the top of the heap and recycled accordingly.  Tins, Metal, Glass, Aluminum Cans and  E-waste be handled by experts for recycling. 
  2. Solid: The biggest volume of waste at the dumpsite is the solid waste.  This waste is a major concern due to its enormous amount generated as an everyday occurrence in most households, hotels and other institutions.  Solid waste is a mixture of food scrap items, such as vegetable and fruit waste, meal leftovers, coffee, tea leaves, stale grains, etc.  Compost of these food waste is the best way to return to the earth.  Handling this waste is highly dangerous, time wasting and need expertise and technology to accelerate the decomposition of organic waste 
  3. Sustainability: There are already a team of people working at the dumpsite and government employees managing the site.  It is highly recommended that the county Government together with their waste management partner’s develops and apply governs for collecting, delivering and managing waste.  Recommended among the policies is sorting at source which will transform what is sent to the landfills into “new” valuable resources.  After the waste stream has been mined for recyclable material, Waste Management is investing in conversion technologies to turn these “leftover” material into useful products.  We advise that the county government develop a suite of these technology solutions, work with partners to divert more material to higher-value uses.   The best way to improve on waste management is by improving recycling.
Ultimately, together we shall alter the dumpsite filth by transforming it into a daily social norm. To get there you and I, all of us need to be sensitive to proper waste management.
