Agroforestry
Environmental Protection: Mitigate localized deforestation and forest degradation in the Mt. Kenya forest reserve and surrounding community forests.
- Economic Relief for Institutions: Lower school operating budgets by cutting firewood expenditure, freeing up resources for infrastructural development or student subsidies.
- Climate Change Mitigation: Reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and generate verifiable carbon credits to ensure long-term project sustainability.
- Health & Safety: Improve indoor air quality in institutional kitchens, reducing respiratory illnesses among cooks.
The project will focus on custom-built or prefabricated fixed-insulated IICS ranging from 50-litre to 300-litre capacities, tailored to the specific student population sizes of the targeted institutions.
