The Challenge

Farming by nature is risky business, but it is also a necessary part of how the entire world has access to nutritious food. Farmers are on the front lines of adapting to challenges created by climate change, invasive pests like fall armyworm and locusts, crop diseases, and other destabilizing shocks. Together, we can help farmers in Africa to chart a path to a better future.

Our Model Highlights

  • Exit Strategy

    Over a period of five to seven years, Nuru Kenya works together with local cooperative leaders to help them develop the capacity to stand on their own with solid leadership while providing farmers with opportunities to improve their livelihoods through establishing market linkages for both crops and dairy.

  • Livelihoods Approach

    Nuru Kenya helps farmers build sustainable and profitable farmer cooperatives, increase their incomes, and provide farmers access to regional and international markets to support their families.

Because everybody deserves a chance at a better life.
