Why Our Work is Needed
There were 1,841 deforestation alerts reported in Kenya between the 26th of July 2022 and the 2nd of August 2022, covering a total of 23ha.
Statistics show that more than 90% of rural households use firewood for cooking and heating, while more than 80% of urban households use charcoal.
According to OCHA, Kenya is very vulnerable to climate change, with the latest projections showing that its temperature will rise to 2.5ºC between 2000 and 2050. The rainfall will also become more intense and less predictable.
Out of the 46million Kenyans, 14.5 million face food insecurity and poor nutrition each year.
Youth unemployment in Kenya is rampant; seven of every ten unemployed Kenyans are aged 35 and below.
