At WICCARE, we believe that sustainable development isn’t just a goal — it’s our blueprint for action. We align our operations, innovations, and partnerships with the UN Sustainable Development Goals to create meaningful impact in East Africa and beyond.
WICCARE’s soil amendment products – biochar and biochar/compost blends – help regenerate depleted agricultural soils, improve soil structure, and increase nutrient retention. These innovations empower smallholder farmers to achieve greater crop resilience, leading to better food security and long-term agricultural sustainability.
WICCARE contributes directly to gender equality through partnerships with NGOs, financing a range of women- and youth-led economic empowerment projects in the communities where we operate. We prioritize inclusive recruitment, promote women in leadership roles across our value chain, and support access to skills training, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy for underrepresented groups.
Our commitment to energy access is explicit — we sell our renewable energy products at least 25% below fossil fuel equivalents, making clean energy more accessible to underserved communities. Our commitment to clean energy is reflected not only in pricing but also in our deliberate selection of environmentally responsible technologies, tools, and production methods that reduce emissions and promote sustainable development.
We create direct and indirect jobs in peri-urban and agricultural communities often beset by high unemployment and a lack of economic opportunity. The ‘energy dividend’ generated by our price pledge drives economic growth.
We invest in innovative technologies and circular infrastructure that transform waste into resources, enabling scalable, sustainable industry development. WICCARE brings a range of innovative circular economy processes together at our Hubs. We are constantly on the lookout for suitable solutions we can integrate at our Hubs.
WICCARE Hubs actively sequester carbon in the form of Biochar and avoid greenhouse gas emissions in a variety of ways. From renewable cooking and heating, avoiding landfill and preventing food spoilage, each Hub contributes emissions savings of well over 25,000 tCO2e every year to the global effort.
Join WICCARE in advancing sustainable development through partnerships, innovation, and local action.
