World Chamber for Social Business congratulates Kenya Climate Innovation Center (KCIC) for launching #DREEMHub Kenya, spearheading the advancement of solar energy adoption within Kenya's dairy and horticulture sectors.

3. Climate-Smart Agriculture for a Better Tomorrow 🌍 The DREEM Hub is pioneering climate-smart farming solutions to ensure food security & sustainability. Innovation + Collaboration = A Greener Future! 💡🌱 #ClimateSmartFarming #DREEMHub #FoodSecurity #SustainableSolutions

"Smallholder farmers lack access to affordable and reliable energy, limiting their ability to preserve produce or mechanize operations. The #DREEMHub is here to alleviate Energy Poverty by supporting the scale up of the productive use of solar energy in agriculture with a focus on the dairy and horticulture sector." - Felix Magaju, Director KCIC

“Access to affordable energy is key to transforming agriculture. The #DREEMHub seeks to address the challenges being faced in the sector by fostering an inclusive and enabling environment that empowers smallholder farmers to integrate solar energy solutions into their agricultural practices.” – Joseph Murabula, CEO KCIC

“Beyond financing and market linkages, the Hub will work with other ecosystem partners to promote investment in decentralized renewable energy solutions. An ecosystem that supports sustainable agricultural transformation is one that is unstoppable.” – Joseph Murabula, CEO KCIC #DREEMHub #PoweringAgriculture #SolarForAgriculture

“I am happy to note that the #DREEMHub aligns with Kenya’s National Energy Policy 2025–2034, which seeks to expand the country’s renewable energy capacity. Through this program, we will be promoting decentralized renewable energy solutions, ensuring that smallholder farmers, agripreneurs, and cooperatives reap the benefits of clean, affordable, and reliable energy.” – Joseph Murabula, CEO KCIC

"The #DREEMHub is a timely and transformative intervention, tackling some of the most pressing challenges faced by Kenya's Dairy & Horticulture farmers. We recognize that high energy costs limit productivity and increase operational costs for farmers." - Harun Kerotich, Director ICT, State Department for Agriculture @kilimoKE

"I want to reaffirm the government’s commitment to supporting this initiative and the other stakeholders working to advance agrisolar solutions in the country. The State Department for Agriculture stands ready to work with all stakeholders to make this project self sustainable and scalable." - Harun Kerotich, Director ICT, State Department for Agriculture @kilimoKE #DREEMHub #SolarEnergy #PoweringAgriculture #SolarForAgriculture

"The #DREEMHub is all about unlocking the full potential of Kenya’s agricultural sector particularly in dairy and horticulture by addressing critical gaps that hinder growth. Our vision is to drive value addition, create more jobs, and strengthen agribusinesses. Energy is a key enabler across sectors—so how do we harness it to empower communities and build a more sustainable future?" - Saumu Ismail, DREEM Hub Project Coordinator #PoweringAgriculture #SolarForAgriculture #RenewableEnergy #DREEMHub

"Cooperatives have been at the heart of agricultural transformation in rural Kenya, driving growth and sustainability across the country. However, access to affordable financing remains a critical need. In sectors like dairy and horticulture, energy challenges have significantly impacted farmers due to the perishable nature of their produce. Investing in renewable energy technologies is not just an option, it’s a necessity to enhance productivity in this sector." – Munene Mwingi, Director Cooperatives Makueni County #PoweringAgriculture #SolarForAgriculture #RenewableEnergy #DREEMHub

"The adoption of solar-powered equipment in agriculture has grown significantly—solutions like solar-powered cold rooms, milk coolers, and dryers are no longer unfamiliar concepts. Having been in this industry for 14 years, we’ve seen that the most effective way to work with farmers is through cooperatives. Organized farmers have better access to financing, technology, and markets, making agrisolar solutions more accessible and impactful." - Queen Lombaka, @Techwin_Limited #PoweringAgriculture #SolarForAgriculture #RenewableEnergy #DREEMHub

"Farmers in Laikipia are eager to adopt solar energy, but several challenges stand in the way including limited awareness, the high upfront cost of investment, access to solar equipment in rural areas, and maintenance support. While we have climate-smart agriculture strategies in place, implementation remains a hurdle. To truly accelerate adoption, we need policies that make solar energy more accessible and practical for farmers." - Elijah Mbugua, Assistant Director of Agriculture, Laikipia County #PoweringAgriculture #SolarForAgriculture #RenewableEnergy #DREEMHub

"As we officially launch this program today, this goes beyond just solarizing key agricultural value chains. The DREEM Hub is rooted in the belief that when we sustainably power Agriculture, we empower generations. My message to farmers, agrisolar entrepreneurs, our partners in the private sector, government, and the ecosystem at largeis that together we can turn the DREEM Hub into a permanent, self-sustaining force for good." – Joseph Murabula, CEO KCIC #PoweringAgriculture #SolarForAgriculture #RenewableEnergy #DREEMHub
