SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION CENTER
SIC is a community based non-profit organization in Kenya dedicated to fostering sustainable development solutions through community development programs. The period from 2010 until today marks 16 years of operations where In 2021 we officially established to scale up with potential partner and to unlock solutions towards climate change.
CHANGE BEGINS HERE!
We believe that solutions should be people's centered.
Every month, millions of young women and girls across the world face a challenge that most people never talk about their period. Not because it is rare, but because silence and stigma have made it feel like a problem to be hidden rather than a need to be met.
At the Sustainable Innovation Center, we are changing that conversation. Menstrual health is not a taboo subject. It is a public health issue, an education issue, and above all a human rights issue
We build the community-led systems that keep them flowing.
Through strategic borehole upgrades, transparent dialogue, and rigorous local training, we partner with communities to turn a critical survival need into a lasting foundation for self-reliance and growth. Explore our sustainable water initiatives and see the ripple effect of community ownership.
A transformative shift is taking root, and it is entirely powered by the women of the community. Long recognized as the backbone of household nutrition and local agriculture, local women are now taking full ownership of the region’s green gold. Through a targeted initiative partnering directly with women’s groups, the program is building capacity across the entire mango value chain. From mastering climate-smart orchard management to spearheading modern harvesting, processing, and marketing techniques, Adiedo’s women are turning traditional mango cultivation into a highly reliable and profitable enterprise strengthening community livelihoods and securing their place as vital economic leaders.
At the heart of our educational vision lies a living classroom: our school-based permaculture program, where students don’t just learn about sustainability they practice it, profit from it, and bring it home. Here, children engage in hands-on organic farming, growing nutrient-rich vegetables and raising hardy fruit tree seedlings within a designed ecosystem that mimics nature’s resilience.
Our primary school scholarship program in Mango and Ang’iro communities is a direct response to the painful reality that many bright, capable children are forced to drop out simply because their families cannot afford school fees. We bridge this gap by providing partial fee support to the most vulnerable students those at immediate risk of leaving school ensuring that financial hardship never becomes a barrier to education.
