The Kenya Industrial Hemp Youth Association (KIHYA) is a youth-led movement dedicated to organizing young Kenyans to support industrial hemp research and civic education. We believe that industrial hemp has the potential to create jobs, drive innovation, and transform multiple industries—from manufacturing and construction to textiles, foods, and biofuels.
However, for Kenya to develop a thriving industrial hemp economy, the government needs solid data and research to guide policy and regulation. That’s where KIHYA comes in. Our mission is to mobilize young people to actively support the companies and researchers working to deliver these critical facts to the government. By organizing awareness campaigns, human resource support, financial assistance, and advocacy efforts, we ensure that industrial hemp researchers have the backing they need to push Kenya’s hemp industry forward.
