Kenya's solar cold-storage inventor wins Global Citizen Prize

Kenya's Dysmus Kisilu won a 2026 Global Citizen Prize for Solar Freeze — solar-powered cold storage units that cut post-harvest food losses for small farmers, boosting incomes and rural food security. He was among three African winners, alongside Uganda's Krystal Mwesiga Birungi for malaria research and Malawi's Tawonga Nyirenda for resilient food systems.
