A quick primer on how Kijani Hydroponics Farm works, why we are building a 10-acre hydroponic farm in Kajiado, and how this model supports women, food security and climate resilience.
Yes. With appropriate local adaptation—such as rainwater capture, solar power, and crops suited to local conditions—hydroponics is a climate-smart, water-efficient method that performs especially well in dry and semi-arid regions like many parts of Kenya.
Yes. Recruitment and training explicitly prioritise women and young people. Roles span farm operations, nursery management, quality control, packaging, and sales. Kijani will track and report employment outcomes so partners can see how many women secure stable, decent work over time.
Kijani plans to sell through supermarket and institutional contracts (schools, hospitals, corporate cafeterias), direct subscription or CSA-style vegetable boxes, and partnerships with hotels and restaurants in Nairobi and nearby urban centres.
