Introduction: Green is the New Growth
As climate challenges intensify, sustainability is no longer optional—it’s essential. Kenya’s green entrepreneurs—those in renewable energy, waste management, sustainable farming, or eco-friendly manufacturing—are building a better future. But many struggle to find financing that understands their unique models.
What is Green Finance?
Green finance means providing capital to businesses that create environmental and social impact. This includes:
- Solar-energy providers
- Organic and regenerative farms
- Recycling and waste-management firms
- Businesses reducing carbon emissions
Yet these ventures often need patient capital and tailored loan terms, something traditional banks rarely offer.
