A Few Words

About Us

Collarosta Technologies and Crafts is a social enterprise that deals in appropriate technology for communities with a broad objective of creating livelihoods and environmental conservation in Kisumu, Kenya.
The Earth loses 18.7 million acres of forests per year and it is estimated that 15 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions come from deforestation, according to the WWF. Greenhouse gases contribute to global warming and consequently climate change. Additionally, there are more than 7 billion people globally, who produce an average of 0.5 kg of waste every day. A staggering half of that waste isn’t collected, treated or safely disposed of, and it’s causing a global waste crisis.
