Hands working compost into garden soil.

Real results, since 2020.

Not what we hope to do. What the work has already added up to, across community hubs, partner schools, and women's cohorts.

Since 2020

What the work has done.

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.

It runs through 15 community hubs and 4 partner schools, with 8+ strategic partnerships across Kenya and beyond, and has sold and distributed 1,400+ litres of organic produce.

More than 1.3 million nutritious meals supported since 2020.

Reasoned from household and cohort data. How we count

Rows of tiered cone gardens made from stacked tyres, with young shoots on dry ground.

Where the work happens

One model, working across Kenya.

The work began in Kibera in 2020 and now reaches schools, households, and women's cohorts in counties across the country.

The mix of urban informal-settlement work and rural county work is part of what makes the project distinctive: the same circular model, adapted to very different places.

Numbers tell you whether the work happened. The gardens tell you whether it mattered.

How we measure

Counted, not estimated where we can help it.

Waste is weighed at the hubs; harvests and cohorts are logged through the year. Some totals, like meals supported, are reasoned from household and cohort data, and we're formalising the method with partners as the work grows.
