Kenya
Climate-resilient tools and training that move rural agricultural communities towards long-term food independence.
Our Role
Repeated failed rains have pushed farming households in Kenya's drylands from a difficult season into a permanent emergency. We equip rural agricultural communities with climate-resilient seed, shared irrigation and farmer-to-farmer training, so households move from food aid towards their own harvests. Cooperatives run the seed banks themselves and repay loans in seed, which stocks the next cooperative. Our field officers stay with a cooperative for at least three seasons, long enough for the practice to hold after we leave.
On the Ground
Cooperatives repay their seed loans in seed, which stocks the next cooperative's bank and keeps the programme running after we leave.
By the Numbers
Our agricultural programme works through cooperatives across the drylands, where a single failed season can undo years of progress.
