(AAAS) is a Dutch company specializing in the <b>development<\/b> and <b>financing of sustainable infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa<\/b>. Its focus lies on solar-powered solutions in agriculture, cold chain logistics, and rural supply. AAAS develops projects with <b>high social impact<\/b> and <b>economic viability<\/b> by combining renewable energy with local value creation. The company works closely with <b>local partners<\/b> to enable the establishment of decentralized infrastructure. \n\n<p \/>\n<p \/>\nOne of these partners is Karanja Orchard Ltd., a Kenyan agricultural company led by Peter Karanja. Karanja Orchard Ltd. has been producing <b>Hass avocados<\/b> for several years and was quick to recognize the growing export potential. Through consistent <b>quality improvements <\/b>and adherence to strict regulations on chemical use and treatment methods, the company has been able to establish a largely export-ready product. To take the next step in its growth, Karanja Orchard plans to build its own processing and export structure. This is where the collaboration with AAAS comes in: AAAS Energy is responsible for the <b>development, financing, and technical implementation of the solar-powered processing facility<\/b>, which, upon completion, will be leased and operated by Karanja Orchard Ltd.\n<p \/>\n\nTo implement the project, AAAS established a project company in Kenya named AAAS Kenya Project 1 Ltd., which acts as the project owner. \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-536887b8 elementor-view-stacked elementor-position-left elementor-shape-circle elementor-mobile-position-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"536887b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span  class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-lock\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRisk reduction measures\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-icon-box-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"WACViewPanel_ClipboardElement\" class=\"WACEditing EditMode EditingSurfaceBody FireFox WACViewPanel_DisableLegacyKeyCodeAndCharCode usehover\" style=\"overflow: hidden;direction: ltr\"><div class=\"OutlineElement Ltr SCXW210464287 BCX2\" style=\"direction: ltr\"><p class=\"Paragraph SCXW210464287 BCX2\" style=\"font-weight: normal;font-style: normal;vertical-align: baseline;background-color: transparent;color: windowtext;text-align: left;margin: 0px 0px 16px;padding-left: 0px;padding-right: 0px;text-indent: 0px\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\" style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;line-height: 17.2667px;font-family: &quot;Montserrat&quot;, &quot;Montserrat_EmbeddedFont&quot;, &quot;Montserrat_MSFontService&quot;, sans-serif\" lang=\"EN-GB\" class=\"TextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\">For the crowdfunding campaigns on <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\">bettervest<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\">, a <\/span><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\" style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;line-height: 17.2667px;font-family: &quot;Montserrat&quot;, &quot;Montserrat_EmbeddedFont&quot;, &quot;Montserrat_MSFontService&quot;, sans-serif;font-weight: bold\" lang=\"EN-GB\" class=\"TextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\">special purpose vehicle<\/span><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\" style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;line-height: 17.2667px;font-family: &quot;Montserrat&quot;, &quot;Montserrat_EmbeddedFont&quot;, &quot;Montserrat_MSFontService&quot;, sans-serif\" lang=\"EN-GB\" class=\"TextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\"> named <\/span><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\" style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;font-style: italic;line-height: 17.2667px;font-family: &quot;Montserrat&quot;, &quot;Montserrat_EmbeddedFont&quot;, &quot;Montserrat_MSFontService&quot;, sans-serif\" lang=\"EN-GB\" class=\"TextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\">Afrika Emissions 9 UG (haftungsbeschr\u00e4nkt) <\/span><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\" style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;line-height: 17.2667px;font-family: &quot;Montserrat&quot;, &quot;Montserrat_EmbeddedFont&quot;, &quot;Montserrat_MSFontService&quot;, sans-serif\" lang=\"EN-GB\" class=\"TextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\">, based in Germany, was <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\">established<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\"> to act as the<\/span><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\" style=\"background-color: transparent;font-size: 11.5pt;line-height: 17.2667px;font-family: &quot;Montserrat&quot;, &quot;Montserrat_EmbeddedFont&quot;, &quot;Montserrat_MSFontService&quot;, sans-serif\" lang=\"EN-GB\" class=\"TextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\"> <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\">lender<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\"> for<\/span><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\" style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;line-height: 17.2667px;font-family: &quot;Montserrat&quot;, &quot;Montserrat_EmbeddedFont&quot;, &quot;Montserrat_MSFontService&quot;, sans-serif\" lang=\"EN-GB\" class=\"TextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW210464287 BCX2\"> this project.
