Youth skills development

Being at it’s core a commercial project involving significant technical aspects (oil-seed processing, best-practices crop husbandry, sustainable agro- and facility productivity), Kilifi Moringa Estates (KME) provides a solid foundation for skills development and knowledge transfer to youth, particularly students and/or school-leavers with few other prospects, but strong skills-development motivations.

Community entrepreneurship development

A significant entrepreneurship outcome can be achieved in the research and development of finished cosmetic products for local sale, for which the project will provide a base product (oil), capital and technical inputs. These cottage-level efforts may well, in turn, seed employment-creating SME outcomes.

Community Co-operative Groups

KME has identified co-operatives, particularly womenÏs self-help groups which are able to contract and pool member resources (land, capital) to develop shared objectives. KME’s Outgrower plan is ideally suited to this model and will deliver handsome rewards to members of such initiatives.
