BIMAS Leads The Charge In Kenya’s GREEN FINANCE Revolution

At BIMAS Kenya, we believe finance should do more than fuel businesses — it should fuel a greener, more resilient future for our communities. That is why we are taking bold steps to champion green finance under the Rural Kenya Financial Inclusion Facility (RK-FINFA), a six-year program led by AGRA in partnership with the Government of Kenya, IFAD, FSD-K, Cordaid, and other stakeholders.

Why Green Finance?
The climate crisis is not a distant problem - it is here, affecting the rains farmers depend on, the soils they till, and the energy they use every day. Green finance is about channeling capital into solutions that protect our environment, fight climate change, and improve livelihoods.

For us, that means:

• Supporting climate-smart agriculture - financing drought-resistant seeds, organic farming, and water-efficient irrigation.

• Empowering renewable energy adoption - from solar home systems to biogas digesters that reduce reliance on harmful fuels.

• Promoting sustainable enterprises - funding innovations in waste recycling, eco-friendly production, and circular economy initiatives.

• Boosting energy efficiency - helping homes and businesses adopt improved cookstoves and energy-saving equipment.

Our Role as a Green Finance Leader
Through technical support from Impact Africa Consulting Limited, BIMAS is embedding green finance principles into everything we do; from designing new eco-friendly loan products to training our staff on climate-smart lending. We are building clear metrics to track our green investments, ensuring transparency and impact.

The Goal
Our mission is simple but powerful: to ensure smallholder farmers, women, youth, and rural enterprises have access to affordable, sustainable, and impactful financing that safeguards the planet and uplifts lives.

The Bigger Picture
Green finance is not just about protecting the environment, it is about building resilience. A farmer with access to solar irrigation can grow crops all year. A household with clean energy saves on fuel costs and enjoys better health. A business that recycles waste creates jobs while reducing pollution.

This is the future we are investing in - and with every green loan we issue, we are one step closer to it.

Join the Movement
For a farmer looking to go climate-smart, a business ready to embrace sustainability, or a partner passionate about green growth, BIMAS is here to walk the journey with you.

Together, we can finance change — and change lives.
