In the heart of Shinyalu Constituency, nestled near the sacred Kakamega Rainforest, a storm brews—not just in the skies, but in the classrooms. When heavy rains lash the rooftops and thunder rolls across the hills, the power grid collapses. Students sit in darkness, their lessons interrupted, their futures dimmed.

In desperation, schools turn to kerosene lamps and diesel generators. The air thickens with fumes. Teachers cough. Children squint. The cost of fuel drains school budgets. Worse still, many revert to firewood—chopping down trees from the Kakamega Forest, Kenya’s last tropical rainforest, a sanctuary of biodiversity and climate resilience.

Firewood is not just inefficient—it’s destructive. It accelerates deforestation, threatens endangered species, and exposes children to smoke-related illnesses. Girls miss school to collect wood. The forest weeps, and so do the dreams of a generation.

But there is hope. The Biogas for Brighter Futures Project offers a clean, sustainable alternative. By converting organic waste into energy, it powers LED lights and computers, creating safe, well-lit learning spaces. It protects the forest, empowers youth, and connects rural schools to the digital world.

Your donation helps build biogas digesters, train local technicians, and equip classrooms with clean energy. Every dollar brings light, learning, and life to Kakamega’s children.
