The people doing the work
YWAA aggregators are young business owners buying produce from the farmers around them. County by county, meet some of the members and what they aggregate.
Kajiado County
Mary Tumpes
Aggregates milk
After Arabuko training she joined hands with the ten farmers under her; together they contributed money, bought yellow-bean seed and planted this season. So far they have harvested 50 kg, with more still in the field.
Faith Kipury
Aggregates poultry
She grew her flock from the few chicken she reared at home and began aggregating poultry after Arabuko training. She has since opened a shop selling groceries alongside eggs from her own chicken.
Irene Ntanin
Aggregates milk
After entrepreneurship training she opened a hotel in Ilbisil town. Her group's next step, agreed at their last meeting, is a merry-go-round scheme so every member can buy animals or poultry of their own.
