Our planet has sustained humanity since the beginning, and our ancestors learned to care for it. However, increasing population exerts immense pressure daily. Deforestation for farming and settlement, along with river pollution from sewage and plastic, severely impacts our beautiful planet. We must ask: will our planet withstand this pressure?
3E Africa is excited to announce its partnership with 1% for the Planet, a global network dedicated to uniting businesses and individuals in the quest for a healthier planet. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in 3E Africa’s mission to drive sustainable development and environmental resilience in rural Kenyan communities.
Rural communities, the heart of many nations, are vital sources of food, resources, and cultural heritage. Yet, they often face significant challenges: poverty, limited education access, and inadequate infrastructure. Recognizing this, 3E Organization has discovered that women inclusion is important to bridge these gaps. Empowering women is not just about gender equality, it’s the cornerstone of thriving communities.
Every year, Kenya discards over 10,000 tons of coffee husks—the shells stripped from coffee beans during processing. For generations, coffee farming has been a cornerstone of Kenya’s economy, providing livelihoods for many. Yet behind the aroma of each freshly brewed cup lies a largely overlooked byproduct: coffee husks. Traditionally discarded or burned, these husks not only contribute to environmental pollution but also represent a missed opportunity for sustainable development.
For generations, rural communities have relied heavily on non-renewable energy sources like firewood for their basic needs – cooking, lighting, and heating. This dependence not only strains our forests but also contributes significantly to climate change. Recognizing this urgent need for sustainable solutions, the 3E organization is championing the adoption of clean energy sources, particularly biogas, in rural areas.
With over half the world’s population under 25, young people are a potent force for change. Their ability to harness technology is driving innovation and creating solutions across sectors. To achieve a sustainable future, it’s imperative to place youth at the heart of development agendas, from local communities to the global stage.
The recent downpour, initially a welcome sight for parched farmland, has transformed into a nightmare for over 27 Kenyan counties. The longed-for rain has become relentless, causing devastating floods that bring a multitude of hardships
3E is leading the transition to renewable energy, particularly biogas, among Molo farmers. By replacing traditional fuels with biogas, households reduce emissions, improve waste management, and boost productivity.
