Our Partnership with The Adventure Project

As of 2022 there were over 80 million people estimated to be food insecure across East Africa.  Chronic causes of regional food insecurity like conflict and land degradation have been exacerbated in recent years by climate change and the COVID pandemic.  The Russian invasion of Ukraine further limited wheat exports to East Africa, and four consecutive failed rainy seasons led to the worst famine in 40 years.  In Kenya, where 70% of people work as rural farmers, and 95% of these lack irrigation, there is an urgent need for interventions that can quickly boost regional food supplies.   

We’re partnering with The Adventure Project so that 100 Kenyan farmers experiencing dire food shortages are able to purchase low-cost Starter Pumps.  These pumps are proven to increase farmers’ crop yields by an estimated 400%, thus providing farmer families with the infrastructure needed to run a successful small farm business while increasing access to critically needed food for the broader community.
