Agriculture is a major contributor in Kenya's economy accounting for 25% of Gross Domestic Product(GDP).The sector also accounts for 65% of total exports 18% and 70% of total labor force.Kenya's land mass is over 80% arid and semi-arid with average annual rainfall of 400mm. Droughts are frequent and crops fail in one out of every three seasons.Other challenges facing arid and semi arid lands farmers are;inadequate extension services,use of outdated farming methods,post-harvest losses,lack of information on farm inputs and exploitation by middlemen.

We seek funding to set up a model farm in rural Kilifi County( this is a dry land) incorporating modern farming practices.This centre will be a learning platform for rural farmers to learn practically modern practices, we will provide extension services,provide employment to rural youth and people with disabilities and provide market linkages to rural farmers.We hope this will be a blue print to be implemented in other communities facing similar conditions.

Kindly join us realize this dream to Kick Out Hunger and Poverty in Arid and Semi-Arid Lands.We are grateful for your contribution.THANK YOU.

Regards,

Okari Matoke
