DESERT STARS
The first focus project of our association, founded in 2025, is “Desert Stars” in Kenya.
This innovative education and development project in Nordenia opens up new perspectives for young people in the North Horr region. The goal is to build a sustainably designed digital and innovation center that offers practical training in IT, sustainable agriculture, and, above all, entrepreneurship. In a region severely affected by climate change, the project creates sustainable alternatives to traditional livestock farming.
Young women and men gain access to digital skills and modern knowledge to help shape their communities independently. The center is complemented by an environmental and sustainability school, modeled on and supported by the Sustainability School of Ben-Gurion University in the Negev Desert. In cooperation with local initiatives, international experts, and the community, a place of learning, innovation, and cultural exchange is being created. The infrastructure will be completely self-sufficient, solar-powered, water-independent, and ecologically sound. A special focus is placed on supporting girls and young women. Desert Stars pursues a holistic approach that combines education, climate protection, and economic empowerment.
Aenki e. V. supports the overall concept and construction of this center.
