Health and Environmental Research Institute – Kenya
(HERI-Kenya) is a community-centered organization advancing
health, environmental sustainability, and social well-being
through research-driven, locally grounded solutions.
HERI-Kenya works with communities, partners, and
institutions to identify practical responses to pressing
public health and environmental challenges, with a focus on
evidence, innovation, and long-term community impact.
Over the past five years, HERI-Kenya has worked closely
with communities in Diani, South Coast Kenya, to address the
growing challenge of organic waste and its effects on public
health, environmental quality, and livelihoods. Through this
work, HERI-Kenya established a Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farm
as a practical waste-to-value solution that converts organic
waste into useful resources such as organic fertilizer and
animal protein feed.
HERI-Kenya’s approach is rooted in the belief that
sustainable solutions must be locally relevant,
evidence-informed, and community-owned. By combining
research, community engagement, training, and applied
innovation, HERI-Kenya is building models that improve
health, protect the environment, and create opportunities
for sustainable livelihoods.
