Ongoing Project
This project is for a client in Kwale county.
Our water pans have created an opportunity to positively impact the livelihoods of the community by elevating heir lives from dependance of irregular weather patterns to full time business owners, environmentalists and most of all green ambassadors.
With the water pan as water sources, trees and crops host the most hardworking insects in our planet. This enriches the environment and the community taking care of the hives. Under our CSR programmes we have empowered communities with over 250 units of beehives and bee keeping training worth an estimated value of Ksh. 1 million. This is in our efforts to ensure the community take care of the trees and vegetation supporting and hosting the bees. This prevents them from cutting down trees for charcoal.
The ecosystem co-existence is balanced by ensuring we cater to the wildlife water needs by providing water points, this has brought peace between the community and the wildlife, enhancing the welfare of every stakeholder.
All our water points have been an oasis and hence the need of safeguarding it, however, we have done it using mother natures finest, trees from the nurseries of the community. This creates a synergy of stake holders and a lasting bond with their environment, we have given the community over 900,000 with an aim to reach 2,000,000 each year.The 900,000 trees we have donated are from purchases of the tree nurseries within the community. With each seedling costing Ksh 10, we have spent over KSh 450,000 and we are still going to ensure we positively impact lives and the environment.
Our services have impacted thousands of people; this is through the value chain of not only feeding the community but selling of farm produce. This has brought families together since they are able to attain financial independence.
Water is life to all. Our services have helped the community to have access to water near them all year round.
