Established by KCDF with the kind donation of Mackenzie Scott, the Young Environmentalist Innovation Challenge (YEIC) is an environmental innovation fund dedicated to nurturing young individuals who are committed to environmental conservation, have strong values, and are action-oriented. In order to foster a sense of environmental responsibility, the Challenge Fund is accepting submissions of innovative ideas and solutions for environmental challenges.

The fund aims to enable young Kenyans to adopt green and digital transformation by supporting innovative ideas and solutions that support the adoption of green and environmentally conscious practices.
