Summary

Description A very poor self-help group (SHG) in Limuru. Limuru is lush highlands and is a major flower and tea growing region, but for those with little land, the area is still food insecure when they experience drought every 2-3 years. These women lease a 1/2 acre plot where they grow potatoes and beans. Life is challenging and they are forced to withdraw and use their savings during lean times for seeds and other inputs. They have been trained by NALEP on farming techniques. They have also been trained to do soap making, manufacture fireless cookers and plum jam and baking, but they currently lack the capital and business skills to turn these into enterprises. With more capital they would also like to increase their farm size.
