Hi Ebele,

I would wish to nominate Taurus Farms. Founded by 3 Kenyan Yale  University Alumni who despite being equipped with Degrees from the Ivy league institution choose to abandon quest for Corporate fame pursue a social cause by forming Tanuru Farms.

Tanuru Farms seek to integrate small-scale farmers in South Nyanza into the regional agricultural value chains(AVCs) in the oilseeds sector; and eventually hope to facilitate value addition as well. Tanuru Farms firmly believes that the participation of small-scale farmers in AVCs will enable the farmers to harness the interdependence among the different actors in the value chain, namely the suppliers of inputs and seeds, the businesses providing technical support for farmers, the financiers, wholesale producers of farm products, the processors and associated sellers.

Please check their website www.tanurufarms.com<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.tanurufarms.com&d=DQMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=ArvepG4_wcNu_X9xi3nb_Xa9WsGLVfmK6mwPdVONOTE&m=uE1kZxEgRMCPIFbfMDMXXKOLbQYcteYfOn01vNTnaIQ&s=wu5zPm96Rs5mmxrh5FhSCur4trrEpW9l5wFwznnks8s&e=>.

I am their business coach and would highly recommend.

Have put one of the team on copy.

Regards

Tim

Hello, All!

Question-I'd love to hear from any and all. Which born and bred in Kenya social enterprises do you think are doing the most interesting, innovative and most impactful work? Which are under appreciated gems?
