Food security
Rieko Kenya is piloting use of Asset Based Community Driven Development (ABCD). The practice of ABCD is widely researched, reinvented and deepened by Coady International Institute at St. Francis Xavier University- Canada (www.stfx.ca). Rieko Kenya’s response to socio-economic and livelihood challenges in Kenya is to facilitate a social change where citizens mobilize and organize their own assets to break the cycle of poverty and live sustainably, empowering communities to use what they have to secure what they have not.
Agriculture
Rieko Kenya helps small holder farmers increase agricultural production and value chain for their products. Rieko Kenya has a passion for women and believes that focus on food security must invest equitably on women’s assets and strengthen their capacity to produce.The organization will not stop not unless enough and the right food is available on the table for all. Rieko Kenya is demonstrating how, in an intensively managed backyard/kitchen garden, families can produce high- value nutritious fruits, grains and vegetables.
