Regional plans
One programme framework, adapted to all eight geographic regions and 47 counties. Proposed plans connect local needs, personnel, resources, reporting and phased delivery. Certification, site assessment, agreements and funding precede operation.
People first · Two distinct phases
Phase One: Beneficiary enrolment and community-based interventions
Our first priority is to identify, enrol and assess eligible beneficiaries, then organise the interventions they need in their existing communities. This includes children, older people, people with disabilities, caregivers and other vulnerable groups. Support is intended through county teams, existing services and authorised partners, outside Braveland. Beneficiaries do not need to move to a city or wait for Braveland construction to receive approved support.
Enrolment and service delivery have not opened. They begin only after government certification and the relevant staffing, safeguarding, service agreements and funding are ready.
Phase Two: Braveland — a future development concept
Braveland is a separate future project, not the regional programme itself and not a condition for Phase One support. A possible location will be selected within each region after feasibility, community consultation, land checks, funding and approvals. Any corridor or place mentioned is a comparison suggestion only; no regional site has been selected. There is no announced construction or opening date.
Technology hubs, innovation and cleaner energy
Braveland and technology hubs form one connected development concept. Community learning can begin through suitable existing partner spaces when certification, funding, staffing and agreements are ready; it does not need to wait for city construction.
Learning and enterprise
- Accessible digital literacy and online safety
- AI literacy, responsible use and practical enterprise tools
- Design, CAD, modelling and supervised prototyping
- Innovation labs, repair skills and product development
- Creative enterprise, artisan value addition and routes to market
Resources required
- Accessible learning space, internet and reliable power
- Computers, assistive technology and appropriately licensed software
- Qualified trainers, a hub coordinator and safeguarding support
- Supervised workshop equipment, maintenance and safety arrangements
The Founder’s office coordinates budgets, procurement and resource delivery. Regional teams define needs, organise delivery and report results.
Solar, wind and fuel reduction
Assess energy efficiency first, then compare solar PV, storage, measured wind potential and an appropriately sized reliable backup. Select the lowest credible whole-life cost for the required service reliability, including maintenance, replacement, finance and environmental effects.
Solar is a candidate for daytime learning and workshop loads. Wind requires measurements at the actual proposed site; a successful wind farm elsewhere does not establish a viable resource at a Norisha site. Critical services must retain a tested continuity plan. Compare battery lifecycle, recycling, land use and environmental effects as well as fuel avoided.
How we will test savings
Illustration only — assumed inputs, not a supplier quotation, current fuel price or Norisha savings forecast.
For a hypothetical hub using 50 kWh each day (18,250 kWh per year), assume solar replaces 14,600 kWh of diesel generation. Test assumptions: 0.35 litres per kWh; KES 180 per litre; baseline maintenance KES 8 per kWh; solar maintenance KES 60,000 per year; installed capital KES 2,400,000.
- Avoided diesel generation cost
- KES 71 per kWh
- Illustrative annual operating saving
- KES 976,600
- Illustrative simple payback
- 2.5 years
Simple payback excludes financing, taxes, degradation, battery/inverter replacement and end-of-life costs. A site-specific whole-life comparison must include these before investment. No wind saving is quoted without a measured resource and system design.
What we will report
- Learners enrolled and completing training
- Accessible learning places and participation
- Prototypes tested and enterprise support outcomes
- Metered energy supplied, backup-fuel use and uptime
- Verified KES operating savings against a comparable baseline
Planning status: proposed. City facilities remain Phase Two. No site, installer, partner, equipment purchase or savings guarantee is announced. Relevant professional design, licensing, safety and environmental requirements must be checked before implementation.
From assessed need to confirmed support
Phase One centres on children, orphans and other vulnerable people receiving appropriate support in their communities, including family strengthening and rehabilitation referrals. Braveland construction is not a prerequisite.
1. Identify the need
A person, family or registered helper requests support. Assess needs with consent, accessibility and safeguarding; children are supported through safe family care and appropriate statutory referrals.
2. Agree the intervention
Record the assessed need, agreed assistance, responsible officer and review date. Include education, healthcare referral, family support, rehabilitation, assistive access or livelihoods as appropriate.
3. Confirm where support will come from
Identify a suitable school, rehabilitation service, licensed health provider, community partner or approved supplier. Confirm suitability, capacity, permissions, funding and an accessible appointment or delivery arrangement.
4. Track the referral or delivery
Link a private case reference to a service referral or item dispatch reference. Record the authorised source, intended recipient or service destination, responsible person, dates and status. The Founder’s Office arranges logistics; restricted records protect addresses and personal information.
5. Confirm receipt and follow up
Verify that the intended person received the item or attended the service. Record receipt or provider confirmation, unresolved barriers and the next review. Escalate missed, delayed or unsuitable support and check the outcome before closing or revising the plan.
This describes the intended workflow, not an active enrolment or tracking service. Public reporting will show aggregate progress only; names, case records, medical information and delivery addresses remain restricted. Opening requires certification and operational readiness.
Earlier county planning model: 500 core posts and 470 separate volunteer places nationally. These earlier staffing estimates are historical planning allowances, not the current recruitment establishment. Professional vacancies are now advertised on Careers; beneficiary intake has separate activation requirements. No posts are claimed filled. Regional, national and full-city staffing are additional and unquantified. Norisha’s planned head office is in Nairobi; its exact site is undecided. Braveland City, Kibwezi (proposed) is a separate proposed development; no parcel or operating campus is verified.
