agribusiness

KAENMC FARMS supports local farmers with skills and capacity training, marketing as well as networking with other farmers. We pride ourselves in keeping farmers trading across the country.

KAENMCS is part of this great national initiative that will lead to a Research, Road Map, Business Plan, Policy document, Resource Mobilisation through Grant Making as well as lobbying government towards strengthening actions, regulations and policies that empower and localize solutions towards Climate Action and Mitigation of Climate Crisis and Change threats. We look forward to working with local communities to find lasting solutions to the circles of droughts and flooding that agribusiness cannot thrive on. We were part of the ECD Network for Kenya formation that works on policy as well as stakeholder engagements today, nationally.

In 2018, we pioneered cafe fish farming as a measure to cub lake degradation; overfishing, using illegal fishing gear, damaging breeding grounds, trawling fish including fingerlings, disrupting egg hatching as well as ecological destruction of lake flora and fauna. Then, with only about 5o cages, the initiative has grown to over 3000 fish cages at Luanda Kotieno Beach, Siaya County, Kenya. it provides jobs and livelihoods to hundreds of women and youth in fish mongering, trade with other counties and motorbike as well as vehicle transportation. A fish Processing Plant has been built by the national government for processing of fish and fish by products and targeting export markets. The beach is set to benefit a Port connecting it to Uganda and Tanzania. A dream 10 years ago is transforming a rural town into a regional economic hub. We look to scale up the Blue Economy to include Lake Bob, River Yala and Nzoia. We keep mobilising resources and looking for investment partners as well as funding to ensure fish production is environmentally friendly, sustainable and creating opportunities for vulnerable people in our communities.  

KAENMCS supports young people to fund-raise for their Self Help Groups, Community Based Organisations ( CBOs) as well as local NGOs. This localisation of initiatives, strengthening groups in order to seek and manage donor funds directly is a great step towards ensuring as much funds get to beneficiaries with minimal or low overheads and administration costs for the donors to cover. We seek to make local organisations donor attractive, affordable to fund and above all, have the capacity to manage funding prudently with best practices as the foundation. We are happy to partner with Jukwaa La Demokrasia, a national civil society group https://jukwaalademokrasia.org/ whose Founder Dickson Aluoch is working with us on funding.

We empower Kenyan communities, especially the youth, with the tools, skills, and financing they need to grow thriving agribusinesses and sustainable enterprises. From education to micro-financing, our mission is simple: help every family live a decent, dignified, and fulfilling life. Together, we’re planting the seeds of a stronger, happier Kenya.From March 1st, we begin Agribusiness Training Skills for youth in Agribusiness. Enrolment at public universities dipped for the first time in three years in a period that saw the intake at technical colleges offering diploma and certificate courses increase 22 percent. This indicates a growing desire for practical Skills for Life, Livelihoods and Income generation rather than a scram for degrees and certificates. The job market no longer guarantees youth income and independence, an increasing number of young adults are living with their parents well into their 30s, driven by high living costs, unemployment. This is what we seek to mitigate by offering trainings on Agribusiness Startups on SMALL spaces Agribusiness, SMART and Climate Responsive Agriculture, urban farming, vertical farming. We shall train on inception of farming for individuals and groups, selection of value chains, skills for capital and resource mobilization including fundraising from charities, foundations and other funders, project cycle management, risk assessment, access to markets bypassing brokers, peer learning and online benchmarking with successful farms, linkages to successful youth farmers for coaching and mentorship, online farmers newsletter, sourcing quality farm inputs from our trusted vendors as well as marketing on our platforms for free among others. At the end of training program, each participant will get a certificate of participation. These certificates add value to job hunting with NGOs since you have foundational skills and they require less effort, time and resources training you. Also, you are ahead in search of paid internship as well as volunteer work give the skills you will have already.
