Cool-roof coatings for a hotter climate.
R&D teams are lowering building cooling loads by up to 22% with a new generation of reflective coatings.
ReadPhotography as a force for conservation.
Since 2017, Safal Eye in the Wild (SEIW) has invited photographers across Africa to turn their lenses toward the continent's landscapes, wildlife and communities. Every frame becomes part of a bigger purpose — funding conservation, education and the next generation of storytellers.
"Every image becomes part of a bigger purpose — turning creativity into opportunity."
What started in 2017 as MRM Eye in the Wild — a small competition celebrating Kenyan wildlife — has grown into a pan-African platform. Each year, a new theme frames the conversation: Wildlife. Stop the Chop. Every Drop Counts. African Landscapes. Drought in Focus. Frame Your Future.
A judging panel selects a top 20 whose work becomes the annual Safal calendar — a travelling gallery of the continent's environment, seen through the people who live closest to it.
Frame Your Future — submissions are live.
Capture Africa's environment, support conservation, and help fund education for the next generation.
Safal MRM Foundation
Prize money that funds the next frame.
Every year the Safal MRM Foundation, together with MRM, Uganda Baati and ALAF, backs the SEIW winners with cash prizes and a place in the annual Safal calendar — turning creativity into opportunity for photographers from Nairobi to Kampala to Dar.
Paolo Torchio — 'Frame Your Future' overall winner.
Vincent Chepkwony — recognised for his standout entry.
