Featured Project

Flagship Initiative

KijaniSpace

KijaniSpace — Kiswahili for “Green Space” — combines the KijaniBox IoT Kit with Copernicus Earth Observation data to deliver precision insights that transform smallholder agriculture and inland aquaculture across Kenya. By fusing ground sensors with satellite imagery, it enables evidence-based decisions on water quality, crop stress, and fish-pond management.
