Increasing incomes of poor women in urban settlements of Nairobi through job creation in the food value chain
Concern : project lead
Nairobi City County : implements Concern’s initiative on early warning system of food insecurity
With a dense population in Nairobi's poor informal settlements and few opportunities, we will empower women to start their own small businesses to earn an income while producing nutritious snacks at an affordable price. We will train the women on business skills and supply them with grants and kits to kick start their businesses. We will also train families on urban farming techniques so they can produce nutritious food in their own households.
