About Us
Our History
WEYE, an acronym for Waste to Energy Youth Enterprise. Founded in 2015 by Galabuzi Brian, WEYE initially began as The Waste to Energy Youth Project. The project aimed to educate young people about climate change and the importance of reducing waste. It also provided a platform for young people to start their own businesses related to waste management. WEYE has since evolved into a social enterprise that works with local organizations and communities to create sustainable waste management solutions.
Our core focus lies in producing and supplying environmentally friendly briquettes crafted from municipal and agricultural waste. These briquettes serve as an eco-friendly cooking fuel for both households and institutions. Beyond offering a clean energy solution, they play a crucial role in combating deforestation and reducing pollution.
Our Objectives
Promote Clean Energy: Develop and disseminate clean cooking fuels and technologies to reduce environmental impact and improve health outcomes.
Advance Sustainable Agriculture: Implement hydroponics and aeroponic gardening to ensure sustainable, green, and healthy feeding practices.
Provide Green Skills Training: Our Centre for Inclusive Green Skills (CIGS) should offer youth access to green skills training, innovation pathways, and opportunities in green jobs, entrepreneurship, and eco-tourism.
Foster Environmental Awareness: Educate and engage communities on the importance of environmental stewardship and sustainable living.
Encourage Green Entrepreneurship: Support youth-led green enterprises, providing resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities to drive economic growth and innovation.
