“In a recent discussion with farmers in the Lake Victoria Carbon Project, the impact of the carbon market was clear: carbon payments go straight to their M-Pesa accounts, linking smallholder farmers in Western Kenya directly to global financial markets—a powerful example of real inclusion.”

“To me, carbon isn’t just a number—it’s part of the story we’re rewriting with communities. Through our work at the C.A.R.E office, it’s about restoring land, supporting livelihoods, and creating fair, lasting change.”
