Project Description

Partnered with a community based organization, Baraka Agricultural College, the Amani Seed Project uses agribusiness initiatives to promote inter-ethnic integration among rural youth in Kenya. Baraka provides agricultural training for farmers in the region and offered free technical advice to project participants. The goal is to foster sustained engagement and cooperation between young people through the establishment of multi-ethnic cooperatives. By giving them a stake in the prevalence of peace in their communities, the incidence of youth participation in violence can be reduced.
