What We do,
We are a social enterprise dedicated to empowering women smallholder farmers in Kenya and beyond to build climate-resilient, productive farms. We provide community-led climate-smart agro hubs on black soldier fly (BSF) and vermicomposting. The women farmers are provided skills, resources and networks for converting the highly abundant agricultural waste and food waste into BSF frass, BSF animal feed, and vermicompost.
Limited gender-responsive climate-oriented support to women smallholder farmers needed for addressing the declining agricultural productivity and socioeconomic shocks of climate change leading to food insecurity and low-income among smallholder households.
