KWAHO’s environmental initiative in Tinderet, Nandi County, introducing bamboo as a solution for climate adaptation, water resource management, and livelihood improvement.
KWAHO is implementing a climate resilience program in Tinderet, Nandi County, focusing on adaptive and mitigative strategies for water resources management (WRM). The initiative centers on introducing bamboo as a fast-growing, sustainable plant to support both ecological restoration and economic empowerment.
The project aims to increase forest cover, improve rural livelihoods, and promote sustainable water use by unlocking bamboo’s potential—ranging from renewable energy products like briquettes and pellets to bamboo furniture and handicrafts. Community capacity is being strengthened through training on bamboo propagation, value addition, and ecosystem conservation.
This project blends traditional environmental conservation with modern community-led innovation. Bamboo is deployed as both an ecological and economic asset, supported by knowledge-sharing workshops and scalable propagation techniques. The initiative aligns with KWAHO’s broader mission to empower communities through sustainable development.
