Zuhura Solutions has developed the Halisi Trolley, a solar‑powered, charcoal‑free food vending cart designed for informal street vendors in Kenya, particularly women and youth. The solution integrates clean cooking technology with income‑generating features and a flexible pay‑as‑you‑go (PAYGo) model, improving health and safety, reducing emissions, and supporting inclusive, tech‑enabled entrepreneurship.
With PREO support, Zuhura Solutions is deploying 120 Halisi trolleys on a PAYGo model, lowering upfront cost barriers, and allowing micro‑entrepreneurs – around 70% women and 30% youth – to adopt clean cooking solutions. The model reduces emissions and health risks while improving profitability, positioning climate action as a driver of economic opportunity within Kenya’s informal urban economy.
