Strengthening Lives Through Sustainable Farming

By Miriam Kariuki | Project Coordinator

Despite facing a prolonged period of no rain and intense heat, the farm has continued to thrive, becoming a cornerstone of support for the shelter’s residents and a tool for empowerment. The farm has produced a steady supply of fresh vegetables, fruits, and eggs, which provide nutritious meals for the shelter's residents. This quarter, we expanded the farm to include additional crops such as French beans, spinach, eggplant, okra, celery, cucumbers, cabbages, and traditional vegetables. 

These efforts not only ensure food security for the women and children at the shelter but also reduces reliance on external food sources. Beyond sustenance, the farm empowers women by involving them in farming activities and teaching them sustainable agricultural practices. Women learn skills like seed propagation, pest management, and soil care, which prepare them for self-reliance after leaving the shelter. Many are now confident in starting their own kitchen gardens, securing food and income for their families. 

Through this project, we are not just feeding survivors—we are empowering them with practical skills and confidence to rebuild their lives.
