Farming is a very common means of earning income in rural Kenya. Many fistula survivors have a background in farming and, once healed, are eager to learn how to turn their experience into an income-generating business. Our program includes a three-day farm skills training seminar and/ or poultry training. As in the vocational and business trainings, women leave the farm skills training with a grant to launch a small business.
Our farming workshops have allowed 108 women to transform their crops from barely being able to feed their families to having a surplus and selling at local markets for income.
