Instability is spreading in rural, climate-impacted communities.

This vicious cycle spreads conflict and worsens extreme poverty. In communities across West Africa, this impacts the lives of 1.1 million people directly and 43 million indirectly.

With you, we create and connect local organizations led by local leaders who work with farmers to create sustainable agricultural businesses. In the conflict-impacted communities where we work, these businesses are igniting hope.

Equipped to capitalize on their unified strengths, these communities can now address food insecurity and build their collective prosperity.

This is Jonathan: a father, pastoralist, and beekeeper in Kenya. 🍯

His 50 hives — a mixture of traditional hand-carved logs and 2 modern units — represent a significant opportunity for growth. But despite his hard work, Jonathan faces many of the challenges common to remote beekeepers, including limited market access and middlemen who drive prices down.

Right now, he sells honey by the bucket, which means that he misses out on extra income from processing honey byproducts.

Through hands-on training, Nuru Kenya is helping beekeepers like Jonathan transition from subsistence beekeeping to a profitable agribusiness that can provide sustainable income for his family.
