USAFI Green, a refugee-led enterprise in Kenya’s Kakuma Refugee Camp, is among the eight African finalists of the 2023 Ashden Awards set to battle for up to Sh3.9 million (£25,000) in cash grants to expand their innovations.

USAFI Green is the manufacturer and supplier of affordable, low-carbon cookstoves at the refugee camp, which aid in job creation and improve health for displaced people and host communities by tackling deadly smoke from dirty cooking fuel.
