Recent Projects

Kitchen Gardens and Poultry Farming

Empowering Widows through Kitchen Gardens and Poultry Farming

Many women in Malava Subcounty struggle to provide a balanced diet for their families despite being responsible for food production. Financial constraints have pushed many women to find alternative income sources, including multiple relationships. This project aims to empower women by helping them grow indigenous vegetables and raise Kienyeji chickens for sale in local markets.

Agro-Ecology

CLIMATE RESILIENCE AGRICULTURE PROJECT (AGRO-ECOLOGY)

Due to unpredictable climatic conditions brought about by deforestation, global warming, and other human activities, most members have been affected, not leaving behind children too. Kakamega being one of these regions and Malava at large, it’s for these reasons that KCWEP is conducting a project on Agroecology farming in Malava Sub County.

Sorghum Project

SORGHUM PROJECT

Sorghum provides a huge opportunity for livelihood diversification in Kakamega County once the various value segments are isolated and promoted through training, capacity building, and empowerment. Sorghum flour when used alone or in combination with other ingredients has proved to be of superior nutritional and health value for children and those challenged with medical complications such as diabetes.
