The Green Impact Zone (GIZ) is an initiative in Kenya designed to improve the environment and the quality of life of citizens in the nation. The project involves the implementation of environmental-friendly infrastructure such as solar energy, improved water and sanitation, green spaces, tree planting and solid waste management. This innovative project is managed by a partnership between Kenyan government agencies, non-governmental organizations, international development partners, and local communities.

As part of this initiative, sport betting has also been introduced in the country through betsafe kenya login. This platform allows individuals to place bets on sporting events happening around the world online or via their mobile phones. With platform users can register for accounts, select from a range of betting options such as fixed odds betting or live bettings and make deposits with various payment methods such as PayPal or MasterCard. Withdrawals can also be made within 24 hours after making a successful win on a bet.

In addition to providing Kenyans with an opportunity to engage in sport betting online without leaving their homes, system also supports numerous social initiatives promoted by GIZ under its Green Impact Zone program. These include projects that focus on climate change mitigation and adaptation measures including water conservation strategies, renewable energy production and safer transportation choices for citizens. Furthermore, all profits generated through betting activity on this platform are reinvested into projects aimed at improving public health services provided throughout the region.

Overall, GIZ’s Green Impact Zone aims to ensure that all citizens in Kenya benefit from sustainable development that respects the environment while ensuring economic growth opportunities are available as well. By introducing sport betting with Betsafe as one of its initiatives, GIZ is promoting responsible gambling across the country while supporting social programs designed to provide better living conditions for everyone involved.

While many of the grants that funded the Green Impact Zone initiative have drawn to a close, the work is not finished; decades of neglect cannot be reversed in a few short years. But by targeting investments and working in partnership with neighborhood residents to address their needs, we believe we have made significant progress, lighting fires of hope across the community. We look forward to continuing to work with partner organizations to keep those fires burning.

The Green Impact Zone office at 4600 Paseo will close on Jan. 24, 2014, but the work of this important effort will continue. MARC is in the process of transitioning specific programs and initiatives and will share more information as more details become available.
