ACK Kitale Diocese and Just Earth Partnership

Just Earth is an organization registered in Kenya and you can know more about the organization by visiting the official website, www.justearth.org

The partnership between the Anglican Diocese of KitaIe and Just Earth began in early 2019 with investment in 2 Farmers Field Schools (FFS) which has enrolled more than 70 farmers in 2 parishes, namely, St Mary’s Kobos and St. Joseph’s Kibagenge.  Just Earth funds and manages these FFS with prayer that more FFS shall be established in more Parishes as availability of funds shall permit.

The Just Earth organization has agreed to 2 new FFS projects in Kinyoro and Chepareria Parishes which will add 75 more farmers to benefit from this partnership that is transforming many small scale farmers.

• Members’ families move from 1 meal per day to 2-3 nutritious meals per day;
• Excess food from harvests to sell and extra incomes earned for living costs like, School fees;
• An average of 4 neighbors taught over the training phase by each member;
• With an average family sizes being 8 per household we project that each FFS of 36 farmers positively impacts 288 family members; and
