What we do
The Lishe Grow Project is one connected system, working across Kenya since 2020. Each part supports the next, so the work keeps growing after a season ends.
The numbers
Since 2020 the work has diverted 17+ tons of organic waste and harvested 10,000+ kilograms of food from gardens, plots, and a demo farm.
It has trained and supported 100+ women in growing, composting, and business skills, and reached 2,400+ students in partner schools and 4K Clubs.
More than 1.3 million nutritious meals supported since 2020.
Reasoned from household and cohort data. How we count
The work
School and household hubs turn organic waste into the compost the gardens run on.
Climate-smart school and household gardens that keep producing through dry seasons.
Cohorts trained in growing and selling. Each group goes on to train the next.
Partnerships that carry the model further and bring expertise and funding back in.
How it works
The project is built to multiply. Knowledge moves from one trained group to the next, so a single season of work keeps growing long after it ends.
A first cohort learns composting, climate-smart growing, and the basics of selling a surplus.
Hubs and gardens go in. Waste becomes compost; compost becomes food on the table.
The first cohort trains the second. Skills pass person to person, not top-down.
4K Clubs in schools keep the model alive across years and new groups of learners.
Numbers tell you whether the work happened. The gardens tell you whether it mattered.
