The Health + Environmental Research Institute – Kenya is a non-profit community benefit organisation founded in 2021. We bridge the gap between scientific research, grassroots action and policy-making to create practical, lasting solutions.
To inspire collective action toward healthier communities and resilient environments.
An environmentally conscious community thriving in health and sustainable living.
Our founders have spent decades studying how environment and health connect in Kenya — HERI turns that knowledge into action with the communities affected.
