Green Households Initiatives

About us

The Organization:
Green Households Initiatives (GHI) is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) which was registered under the Kenya NGO Executive Board in 2012. The organization, however, started implementing projects at rural households in 2006. The organization currently operates in Kenya_ Africa and plans to replicate some of the initiated projects activities to other areas of Africa with time. GHI works with the less disadvantaged youth, women, and learning institutions at rural level in its projects implementation. Private sector partnerships, networking with donor agencies and seeking the Government support has helped the organization to achieve its core objectives. GHI’s project areas include Energy, Health, Education, Agriculture and Environment.
