It is projected that by 2050, the number of senior people in Kenya would surpass 6 million, making up more than 10% of the total society. Today, there are roughly 2.2 million Kenyans who are 60 years old or above, and a significant number of them reside in poverty with restricted availability of healthcare. Continuing growth of this population will lead to a substantial rise in the demand for specialized care services, such as assisted living facilities. 

Energy poverty is a critical issue in Kenya, where over 50% of rural households lack access to electricity. Solar energy is a transformative solution, providing reliable electricity that enhances educational outcomes and supports economic activities. In 2024, Kenya made significant strides in expanding its solar energy capacity, contributing to its broader goal of achieving 100% clean energy by 2030.

Despite the robust economic expansion, almost 16.1% of the Kenyan population remains below the global poverty threshold. The elderly population is especially susceptible, frequently without pensions or social security, so restricting their ability to obtain healthcare and address fundamental needs. Mitigating these weaknesses is essential for enhancing the well-being of Kenya's elderly population.
