To inspire collective action toward healthier communities and resilient environments.
An environmentally conscious community thriving in health and sustainable living.
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.
Research underpins all HERI-Kenya projects. We conduct assessments, surveys, and applied studies to ensure interventions are relevant, ethical, and effective, and that learning informs scale and replication.
We translate research into action through targeted projects that address waste management, environmental health, and community capacity. Our learning and demonstration site allows students, communities, institutions, and visitors to experience evidence-based sustainability solutions in action. Our learning and eco-tours are guided educational experiences built around real projects, not simulations.
We track outcomes, learn continuously, and adapt interventions to ensure accountability and meaningful change.
Using data to understand challenges and inform evidence backed health and environmental interventions.
Turning organic waste from an environmental health risk into compost and protein-rich animal feed.
