We believe in the power of inclusivity and impact, a belief that was vividly illustrated in our latest carbon credit collaboration. As part of SteelFab, Inc.’s journey to carbon neutrality, we're proud to spotlight the critical role of Mini-Grid Carbon Credits, sourced from the heart of rural Africa. 🌱 These credits represent real-life change and sustainability, verified through a robust Clean Development Mechanism developed by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Among these, a shining example is a mini-grid located in Kalobeyei Refugee Settlement in Turkana, Kenya, operated by a refugee-owned enterprise, Okapi Green Energy. This impactful project is led by visionary founder Vasco Hamisi and is supported by the generous funding from UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency and Power Africa, whose contributions have been pivotal in bringing renewable energy solutions to underserved communities. 💡 Okapi Green Energy is a beacon of hope and enterprise, showing the world that meaningful impact can come from any size. Renewvia stands firm in our commitment to recognizing and validating the efforts of all renewable energy producers, big or small. By aiding them in generating additional revenue through the sale of high-impact carbon super-assets, we help uplift communities and foster sustainable growth. 🤝 This transaction is a testament to Renewvia's ethos of empowering those who make a difference, ensuring that every producer has access to the carbon market. We applaud Okapi Green Energy for their exemplary work and are honored to assist them and other small owner-operators in harnessing the value of their contributions to our planet. #solarprogress #sdg7 #renewableenergy #renewableinvestment #cleanenergy #carboncredits #SteelFab #steelfabrication #corporatedecarbonization #kenya #minigrids #ruralelectrification #energyaccess #offgridsolar #refugees

🌟 Local Innovation, Global Impact 🌟 At Renewvia, we are continually inspired by the power of local initiatives to drive significant global impact. A prime example of this is our partnership with Yelele, a remarkable mini-grid owned and operated by Francis Ngimusia, a visionary entrepreneur from Turkana, Kenya. 🌍 Under Francis' leadership, this cornerstone of community development and empowerment in Turkana has become more than an energy provider; it's a source of pride and progress for the local community. This impactful project is supported by the generous funding from Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, AECF, KKCF - Kakuma Kalobeyei Challenge Fund, IFC - International Finance Corporation, an Agence Française de Développement, whose contributions have been pivotal in bringing renewable energy solutions to underserved communities. 🌱 As part of our recent transaction with SteelFab, Inc., we are thrilled to include Mini-Grid Carbon Credits (MCCs) generated by Yelele. These credits are certified through Renewvia's rigorous processes, adhering to international standards while supporting grassroots renewable energy projects. 💡 Francis’ dedication to sustainable energy solutions and community upliftment exemplifies the potential of local enterprises to contribute meaningfully to global sustainability goals. By integrating these projects into the broader carbon credit market, Renewvia helps ensure that local heroes like Francis receive the recognition and economic benefit they deserve. 🤝 We are proud to support Yelele and are committed to empowering similar initiatives across the globe. It's through partnerships like these that we can turn local action into worldwide impact, one community at a time. #solarprogress #sdg7 #renewableenergy #renewableinvestment #cleanenergy #carboncredits #SteelFab #steelfabrication #corporatedecarbonization #kenya #minigrids #ruralelectrification #energyaccess #offgridsolar
