Food Security & Agriculture
Families can't thrive on empty stomachs.
We support smallholder farmers — especially women — to grow nutritious food, connect to markets, and form local cooperatives for sustainability.
The Food Security Crisis
Climate change, rising food prices, and limited agricultural resources threaten food security for millions of Kenyan families. Smallholder farmers, who produce most of our food, often lack access to modern farming techniques, markets, and financial services.
Women farmers, who comprise 70% of the agricultural workforce, face additional barriers including limited land ownership rights and access to credit. Our program addresses these challenges through comprehensive support systems.
