What is the long term solution to recurring
droughts and starvation in Kenya?
Dr. Elijah Korich, founder and
chairman of Keiyo Soy Ministries (KSM) believes it requires empowering
communities and assisting them in identifying and developing local
resources. Ascertaining sustainable development in rural Africa can only
be achieved by engaging individual communities in the development of
their local resources.
Preservation of natural resources,
water catchments, preservation of forests, planting of trees, food
self-sufficiency, crop production, livestock development, water
development and irrigation, public health clinics, education, and local
capacity building are among the activities Keiyo Soy Ministries is
striving to achieve in the next five years. Income generating
development includes production of crops for local consumption and cash
crops like coffee, fruits for local markets, and eventually the
exporting of these products will provide communities with foreign
currency.
