Permaculture - Clean Energy - Education
We work with local partners to exponentially improve the performance of marginalised schools in Kenya through permaculture & clean energy
Our community led programmes will benefit school children, the local community and provides a mechanism to be financially sustainable
We identify corporations and organisations that are committed to improving educational and nutritional levels whilst mitigating their carbon & environmental footprint
Kenyan Schools are under performing. There is a direct relationship between energy and the performance of schools. Energy poverty means no light in the classrooms, dormitories, no internet, no computers, no studying after dark and open fire cooking with all the devastating health and environmental consequences.
This coupled with lack of food in schools and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WaSH) issues, walking home in the dark, human and wildlife conflict, prevents parents sending their children to school.
Keystone are designing a community turnkey clean energy programme, that provides energy to not only power the school but importantly produces nutrient rich fertiliser, through biogas, which will be used to produce sustainable food (permaculture)
The food will help incentivise children to attend school with regular meals to supplement and diversify their diet, together with producing income from the surplus to pay for labour and the cost of the clean energy plant.
