ABOUT US
What MBIDEA Does.
MBIDEA works closely with communities to implement sustainable programs that improve livelihoods and protect the environment. Our approach includes:
a) Community Needs Assessment – We engage local leaders and stakeholders to identify challenges and solutions.
b) Training & Capacity Building – We equip farmers, youth, and women with skills in sustainable farming, clean energy, and income-generating activities.
c) Sustainable Solutions – We promote climate-smart agriculture, improved stoves, tree planting, beekeeping, and fish farming.
d) Monitoring & Learning – We track progress, gather community feedback, and improve programs based on real needs.
e) Long-Term Impact – We ensure sustainability by building community ownership and integrating with local government efforts.
Through these efforts, MBIDEA empowers communities to be self-reliant and environmentally resilient.
