- Our Story
Introduction and Early History
Green Eco Solutions is a green energy solutions provider founded by Grace Gitiha. Based in Naivasha, Nakuru County, the company began operations in 2014 and was incorporated in 2016.
Green Eco Solutions was established with the mission to enhance livelihoods through the provision of clean cooking solutions, driven by the reality of forest destruction in search of a reliable, affordable, and environment-friendly cooking energy source.
Inspiration
Our founder, Grace Gitiha, draws her inspiration from the late Nobel peace prize laureate Prof. Wangari Maathai’s quote: “I will be a Hummingbird: I will do the best I can.”
This inspiration has been a cornerstone of Green Eco Solutions’ journey, motivating Grace to make a positive impact on the environment and society.

Milestones
Grace Gitiha, the founder and CEO, has been recognized for her leadership and impact. One of our most popular solutions, Makaa Tunza, translates to “Charcoal That Conserves” in Swahili. This product is a briquette derived from repurposed waste biomass mixed with a binding agent.
It is advantageous because it lasts three times longer than ordinary charcoal, is cost-effective, smokeless, and has lower carbon emissions.
