We create and manage large-scale nature-based projects to help alleviate the impacts of climate change and grow economic and social opportunities within local communities.
As a Nature-based Solutions project developer bridging the gap between the public and private sector, we employ market mechanisms, innovative technologies and collaborative partnerships to build a harmonious relationship between economic development and environmental stewardship.
Through ecological restoration, biodiversity conservation, inclusive development, and the power of technology and science, we exist to make a lasting positive impact on Africa’s ecosystems and communities. We are committed to a holistic approach that adheres to recognised standards ensuring the highest level of integrity.

At KAYA, we’re fully-focused on implementing nature-based solutions that maximise impact on climate, biodiversity, and local communities.
We are engaged in reforestation, agroforestry, and fire management interventions, with ongoing assessment of environmental, social, and economic factors to ensure our work is appropriate, effective, and sustainable.
We believe the impacts of ecological degradation on climate, biodiversity and local communities are co-dependent.
Lasting positive change to local biodiversity and ecosystems is only possible with the involvement of local communities. We are dedicated to long-term, landscape-scale initiatives that actively engage local people at every stage, providing them with new opportunities and alternative livelihoods.
Angola is a country with enormous potential for landscape-scale, nature-based solutions that can drive economic development, support sustainable agriculture, reverse land degradation and enhance climate resilience.
We have opened an office in Malanje, Angola – a region we identified as especially suitable, and in need of solid-science interventions to conserve and restore ecosystems and overcome the increasing challenges posed by climate change.

The KAYA Lab is a research and development hub for our future projects in Angola.
It also serves as a knowledge sharing facility between KAYA and rural communities in the Malanje region. It’s here we rigorously test theoretical frameworks and practical methodologies over 200+ hectares to eventually scale across other regions of Angola.
We work with a wide range of stakeholders including local communities, cooperatives, NGOs, regional and national government, and the private sector.
By building strong partnerships, we can create more inclusive, effective, and sustainable solutions that benefit both people and nature.
