In the drylands of Lower Eastern Kenya, farming has always been a challenge — unpredictable rains, degraded soils, and high farming costs have made it hard for small-scale women farmers to thrive. But thanks to LEWOCO’s agroecology training, that story is beginning to change.Agroecology is a sustainable approach to farming that uses local knowledge and natural techniques to build healthy soil, conserve water, and grow food without harmful chemicals.

Through LEWOCO’s support, women farmers are now learning how to compost, rotate crops, use organic pest control, and practice intercropping. These techniques are not only affordable but also kinder to the environment.The results are clear. Many women report improved harvests, healthier soils, and reduced costs. With more food on the table and extra produce to sell, families are becoming more food secure and financially stable.Beyond the farm, these trainings are empowering women to work together, share knowledge, and become leaders in sustainable agriculture. Through agroecology, LEWOCO is sowing more than seeds — it’s cultivating resilience, unity, and hope for the future.
