From Agricultural Waste to Clean Energy: How the PINCA-Y Programme is Transforming Vangreen Enterprises
In a world increasingly shaped by the climate crisis, the most powerful solutions often come from the ground up. Vangreen Enterprise Ltd, led by Maureen Birir, is one such solution — a Kenyan green enterprise converting agricultural waste into clean cooking fuel, offering communities a sustainable alternative to charcoal. Through the PINCA-Y Programme, implemented by Mt Kenya Hub in partnership with DanChurchAid (DCA) Kenya, Vangreen has taken significant strides in 2026 — not just as a business, but as a model for what environmentally conscious entrepreneurship can look like in Africa.
