Our Programs & Initiatives
WAFfEE's initiatives and programme activities are all sustainable and organised along the thematic lines of; Alternative Electrification, Environmental, Sustainable Livelihood, Empowering Women and Action Research. Our activities within these areas may be country specific or regional. Country projects are carefully designed to respond to demand from our domestic partners as part of a wider thematic strategy. As such they are usually pilot projects for initiatives that are ultimately meant to be replicaable in other countries. In addition, we also have activities of liaison with regional and international institutions and organisation. At WAFfEE, our programmes are designed to deliver innovative bottom up and top down solutions, making for long term contributions to the environmental and sustainable livelihood equations respectively.
With a focus on making the world a better place for all to live, at WAFfEE, our Environmental Education & Adaptation Programme recognises that: 200 billion kg of soot and CO2 are emitted each year, polluting homes and warming the Earth's atmosphere.
Thus, WAFfEE works to build community based awareness on the interrelationships and effects of of our everyday life on the environment, disseminating education on climate change and its effects, prompting sustainable lifestyle changes that can be made to help slow climate change and enabling increased adaptation capabilities in the community. 
At WAFfEE we are of the notion that all members of communities can achieve innovative ways of earning a and maintaining a continuously sustainable livelihood while showing respect to preserving and enhancing the sustainability of both environment and the community at large and as such work with disabled groups, youth and women led initiatives to promote and achieve same.
