Harvesting prosperity: The Farms for Life breakthrough

In Sub-Saharan Africa, where over 80% of the population depends on smallholder farming, we have pioneered a groundbreaking initiative: Farms for Life (FFL). This program equips men—many of them incarcerated or marginalized—with the tools, training, and hope needed to break free from poverty and restore their land, families, and futures. 

Cultivating change: The Farms for Life model

After graduating from both The Warrior and The Priest leadership courses, the man/husband--along with his wife--is invited to join our half-day classroom and half-day in the field organic farming coursework, where they emerge with renewed purpose: to protect and provide for their families. The FFL curriculum then trains men in:

  • Modern organic farming techniques to revive barren soils.
  • Homemade fertilizer production to reduce costs and boost yields.
  • Agribusiness development to diversify income through livestock, markets, and value-added products.

Agriculture is by far the most important contributor to Kenya's GDP, with recent estimates placing it at around 25% to 33% per year. Smallholders plant between 0.5 to 8 acres, producing approximately 75% to 80% of the nation's harvest. Yet, they receive little or no support from international or local government farm aid spending. 

Proven results: From barren soil to abundance

 Since its inception, FFL has achieved measurable success:

As of December 2024, including 5,500 incarcerated individuals. Over 60% of inmate graduates await release, eager to reunite with families, and 6,900 men--some with wives attending (as of 2024) apply their skills.

Typical yield increases by those who follow our FFL Process:

  • 1.5 x yield increase after one year (2 harvests)
  • 2-3 x yield increase after two years
  • 3–6 x yield increase after 3–5 years

Remarkably, one of our graduate couples has reported an 18x (1,800%) yield increase versus their starting baseline in just over 8 years.

A living laboratory: Research & results in action

True transformation requires a foundation of proven, practical knowledge. That's why we've established a dedicated research plot for our Farms for Life program. With the support of our partners at Core 300, we've secured land that serves as both a training ground and a base for agricultural innovation.


Break the cycle of poverty. Sow seeds of hope.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, millions of smallholder farmers battle barren soils, hunger, and despair—ignored by global aid systems. You can change this.

Your support will:

  • Transform barren land into thriving farms: Fund seeds, tools, and training in modern organic farming, empowering men to multiply crop yields up to 18x in just 8 years.
  • Free families from poverty: Pay school fees, health insurance, and lift entire communities into self-sufficiency.
  • Empower incarcerated men: Prepare inmates to return home as skilled farmers, reuniting families and ending cycles of abandonment.
  • Build agribusinesses: Help farmers invest in livestock, fertilizer production, and markets, creating generational wealth.
  • Scale proven success: Every KES 100 invested returns 6x in revenue—just like our pilot project that turned 3 leased acres into a thriving model.
