WFWP Kenya Climate change project: Green Solar Energy for the African Villages

By: Susan Kone. 

On 3rd November, 2023 WFWP Kenya embark on the Green solar Energy project. The activity was held in partnership with the Kajiado County 1st Lady H.E Dr Edna Lenku who is a well-known environmentalist and women leader in Kajiado County.  The program of the day was divided into 2 sessions,  the morning was for Education and the afternoon session was about donations. 

The Education started with Mentorship by the 1st Lady, followed by lectures on hygiene, Family values, and Entrepreneurship. They also received a lecture on how to take care of the environment to combat climate change as the village is near the Amboseli National Park and there are many cases of Human / Animal conflict as water can be scarce, especially during the dry seasons... The 1st Lady also donated corrugated iron sheets to the young mothers to repair the roofs of their houses which also boosted the young families and the WFWP donated Solar lamps and hand-washing soap. 

The Kajiado County  1st Lady who is also the mentor of the group together with the Women Group was very grateful,   she expressed the wish to partner with WFWP in various projects for continuation and positive impact in the village.
