The transition to green energy is essential for mitigating climate change and promoting sustainable development. In Uasin Gishu and Bungoma counties, SOET NGO is committed to harnessing green energy to reduce the carbon footprint and enhance livelihoods. By providing access to renewable energy solutions, we support the well-being of communities and protect the environment for future generations.
Many households in the region rely on kerosene lamps and wood for lighting and cooking, leading to indoor air pollution and deforestation. By providing solar lanterns and solar cookstoves, we reduce the reliance on unsustainable energy sources and improve the quality of life for community members. Solar energy is a clean and renewable resource that can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Biogas is produced from organic waste and can be used for cooking and heating. By promoting biogas technology, we provide an alternative to traditional fuels and reduce the environmental impact of waste disposal. Biogas systems also produce nutrient-rich slurry that can be used as fertilizer, enhancing agricultural productivity. This integrated approach to energy and agriculture supports sustainable development and improves livelihoods.
We conduct workshops and training sessions to raise awareness about the benefits of renewable energy and to equip community members with the skills they need to install and maintain green energy systems. By empowering individuals with knowledge and skills, we ensure the long-term success of our initiatives. This collective effort is crucial for building resilient communities that can adapt to the challenges of climate change and thrive in a sustainable future.
