Clean energy access at scale needs local technical capacity, not a permanent dependence on outside technicians flying in for every installation and repair. Building that capacity locally also does something equally important: it creates real, dignified green jobs for young people in communities that need them most, turning the clean energy transition into an economic opportunity, not just an infrastructure project.
We train young people and local technicians directly in solar installation, system maintenance, and the entrepreneurship skills needed to build a sustainable livelihood around clean energy — not just technical know-how in isolation, but the business skills to run a solar installation or maintenance venture. This builds a durable, local clean-energy ecosystem in Kenya that can sustain and grow itself well beyond any single project.
