Our vision, mission & activities
A clear statement of what Green Revolution Farmers is working toward, why it exists, and how it is registered — for members, donors, partners, and reviewers alike.
A Nairobi where every household can grow, save, and eat with dignity.
We envision Babadogo, Kariobangi North, and the wider Ruaraka Sub-County as a community where no household is cut off from fresh food because of a lack of land, water, or capital — where small urban plots, balconies, and rooftops are treated as real productive space, and where farming knowledge and cooperative savings are passed between neighbors as a matter of course.
What we do, in plain terms
Green Revolution Farmers is a registered Community Based Organization that trains and supports smallholder and urban farmers in Babadogo and Kariobangi North through four core activities:
- 1Train. Hands-on workshops in composting, drip irrigation, sack gardening, poultry keeping, and pest management, taught by member-farmers and visiting agricultural extension officers.
- 2Organize. Table-banking groups, community seed banks, and bulk-buying of inputs so members save money and share risk together.
- 3Connect. Linking farmers to county agricultural extension services, local schools running nutrition gardens, and buyers for surplus produce.
- 4Advocate. Representing urban and peri-urban farmers' interests in county forums on land use, water access, and waste management.
What guides how we work
Cooperation over competition
We grow, save, and sell as groups rather than leaving individual farmers to face the same problems alone.
Sustainability first
Every method we teach is judged by whether a household can keep doing it season after season without depleting soil, water, or savings.
Transparency
Registration status, governance, and finances are documented and available to members, donors, and regulators — see our Transparency page.
Dignity through self-reliance
Our programs are designed to build lasting household capability, not one-off handouts.
Inclusion
Open to any resident farmer regardless of gender, age, or plot size — from a balcony sack garden to a larger community plot.
Knowledge-sharing
Skills learned by one member are taught forward to the next, keeping training costs low and community ties strong.
Officially registered, member-governed
Green Revolution Farmers is registered as a Community Based Organization (CBO) with the Department of Social Development, Ministry of the East Africa Community, Labour and Social Protection — not an informal or unregistered group.
