Strengthening East Africa: Strategic Progress in Kenya 


Our recent visit to Kenya reaffirmed our commitment to sustainable development and impactful partnerships. The trip combined project reviews, exploration of new opportunities, and strategic networking to accelerate our mission in East Africa. 



📍 Project Highlights 
In Nairobi, we visited Mariapolis Piero, where our solar car park powers the entire site and will soon support a new primary school opening in 2026. At Tangaza University Campus, we reviewed the installed solar system powering multiple buildings across the growing campus.


We also met the Nyeri Archdiocese team, finalizing a large photovoltaic system that will supply energy to hospitals and diocesan facilities. In Eldoret, progress on the St. John’s Amani Centre commercial building was confirmed, while in Mombasa, discussions focused on future social impact projects and cooperation opportunities. 



💡 Future Opportunities 
Across all locations, we explored innovative ideas in:


  • Solar Power for energy independence and cost efficiency
  • Green Hydrogen & Co-Products, including oxygen for medical facilities and green ammonia for fertilizer production
  • Sustainable Agriculture & Circular Economy, such as hydroponics, agri-photovoltaics, waste-to-energy, and biogas solutions.


These projects share a common goal: meeting our Impact^3 standards by focusing on capacity building and income generation. Creating long-term revenue streams to fund pastoral activities and strengthen local communities remains a top priority. 



🤝 Strategic Partnerships 
We deepened collaboration with key institutions, including GIZ, SEforAll, and Strathmore University, to advance high-impact initiatives across East Africa. These alliances are essential for scaling solutions that combine economic viability with social impact. 



➡️ Conclusion 
Kenya stands as a cornerstone of our East African strategy. From solar innovation to sustainable agriculture, our projects and partnerships confirm a clear path toward economic empowerment, environmental stewardship, and community resilience.
