Environment and Renewable Energy
Kenya is one of 12 countries that has signed-up to the African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative (AFR100), which is designed to restore 100 million hectares of degraded land across Africa by 2030. Rural communities rely directly on the environment for survival. They utilize firewood for cooking, heating and construction and use land for subsistence farming. Ace Africa Kenya provides environmental education and training, promote tree planting and other measures to conserve the environment and promote use of renewable energy, in particular, the use of solar in agriculture. In 2016, Ace Africa Kenya received a grant from the USADF/Africa power initiative to support six community groups in Siaya County with Solar irrigation system to improve horticulture production and marketing.
