Welcome to HERI-Kenya

Welcome to HERI-Kenya, a community for those who believe that health and environmental sustainability is our collective responsibility. Together with communities, schools, and stakeholders, we’re transforming research findings into practical & sustainable interventions that tackle community and environmental challenges where it matters most, at the grassroots.

This is more than a movement; it’s a shared journey toward a healthier, greener future for all.

To inspire collective action toward healthier communities and resilient environments.

An environmentally conscious community thriving in health and sustainable living.

Our Priority Areas

We conduct evidence-based research to understand the links between health, environment, and community well-being. Our studies inform interventions, and provide solutions to local and global challenges such as vector-borne diseases, waste management, and climate change impacts.

Through training programs, community forums, and mentorship, we equip community service providers with the knowledge and skills needed to champion sustainability. Our focus is on empowering youth, grassroots actors, and local leaders to drive lasting change in their communities.

We advance innovative solutions that reduce waste, conserve resources, and create sustainable livelihoods. Central to this is the HERI Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Farm, which transforms organic waste into valuable products like animal feed and organic frass compost.

Collaboration is central to our work. We build strong partnerships with communities, academic institutions, businesses, and policy-makers to co-create solutions, share knowledge, and scale impact for healthier people and environments.
