From field to market, soybean farmers accessed seeds, secured loans, bulked their harvest together and paid every shilling back. With women and persons with disabilities leading the way, 2025 did not just prove the model works. It proved communities can own it.
Inception meetings and cooperative organising reached 160+ farmers during the launch phase.
MoUs and strategic relationships helped position the Foundation across government, private sector, and development ecosystems.
