Week 1 Complete!
Clean Energy Entrepreneurship Program – Cohort II
What an intense, inspiring first five days at Strathmore University! I deepened our practical skills in solar design, biogas technology, electronics maintenance, and green business strategy, directly feeding into GLYN‑K’s CBO Last‑Mile Eco‑Village Lab.
Beyond the classroom, we are actively aligning partnerships at the last mile – integrating with Army (national restoration), (financial inclusion for youth in agriculture, with WEL, NCBA CLUSA, NCPWD), /GIZ/ Africa Bio-Energy Program Limited -ABPL (productive‑use biogas training), and now Global Alliance for Communities as a co‑last‑mile implementing partner, anchoring community‑led, SDG‑driven action from the village up.
Our sincere gratitude to Centre, of Energy and Petroleum (MOEP), Energy Research Centre, Energy Labs, and PACT for organising this transformative training, bringing together brilliant young clean energy entrepreneurs from across Kenya.
This coordinated, multi‑stakeholder engine (SDG 17) also includes Byestar (digester construction), State Department for Tourism - Kenya, Youth in Tourism & Conservation, Village Lab (artivism & policy shadowing), Cereal Growers Association CGA (Farmer Field Schools), and government of Homabay (Ward Development Committees). From solar irrigation to briquettes and bio‑slurry loops, we are building a replicable, circular, green‑job‑rich model.
Grateful to facilitators and fellow youth. Week 2 loading – turning knowledge into village‑level action!
