Kibaha Environmental Conservation Action (KECA) continues to promote innovative solutions that support environmental conservation and improve community livelihoods. Recently, KECA participated in an important demonstration of clean cooking technology, highlighting the benefits of modern and energy-efficient cooking systems. The initiative aims to reduce dependence on charcoal and firewood, which are major drivers of deforestation and environmental degradation. During the event, stakeholders and participants witnessed how clean cooking gas systems can provide a safer, faster, and environmentally friendly alternative for households. The technology helps reduce indoor air pollution, protects forests, and contributes to climate change mitigation. KECA remains committed to working with partners, communities, and stakeholders to promote sustainable environmental practices, including clean energy, conservation awareness, and nature-based solutions for a healthier and greener future. 🌍 Together, we can protect our environment while improving the quality of life for communities.
Kibaha Environmental Conservation Action (KECA) and Kibaha Beekeeping Training Centre (KBTC) participated in the Dar es Salaam International Trade Fair 2025, held in Dar es Salaam. The event provided a valuable platform to showcase sustainable beekeeping initiatives and promote locally produced honey products. During the exhibition, the organizations presented Marlena Pure Natural Honey, a product developed through environmentally friendly beekeeping practices supported by KBTC. Visitors to the pavilion had the opportunity to learn about the benefits of natural honey, the importance of bees in biodiversity, and the role of beekeeping in supporting sustainable livelihoods for local communities. Participation in the Sabasaba Trade Fair also enabled KECA and KBTC to connect with stakeholders, entrepreneurs, and potential partners interested in conservation, value addition, and market development for bee products. Through such national exhibitions, KECA and KBTC continue to promote sustainable beekeeping, environmental conservation, and economic empowerment while expanding awareness and market opportunities for natural honey products in Tanzania. 🍯🌿
