By matching suitable food crops with the local climate patterns and soil conditions, farmers can maximize their seasonal returns. That’s what we call climate-smart farming!
Our projects are focused on improving food security and the economic empowerment of vulnerable communities in East Africa.

Programs
Iron Bean Boost
This program promotes high-iron bean varieties, a powerful weapon against iron deficiency. We distribute improved seeds, offer training on cultivation practices, and link farmers to the markets.
Sorghum Strength
We champion sorghum farming by providing farmers with superior seeds, comprehensive training, and a ready market for their sorghum produce through our processing plant. Sorghum’s resilience ensures food security even in challenging climates.
