Rural Kenya like other developing economies faces diverse sustainability challenges such as climate change, degraded ecosystems, poor health, waterborne diseases and poor waste management. Unsuitable consumption patterns and limited environmental awareness are the major problems.There is therefore an increased need for capacity development, environmental awareness and information exchange to foster a generation of environmentally conscious citizens capable of positive action.
