Mary, a mother of three from Tharaka-Nithi County, struggled to provide food for her children due to recurring droughts that devastated her small farm. With no reliable source of income, she often had to depend on occasional aid. When she connected with The Empowerment Echo Foundation, her life took a significant turn.

Through our Food Security & Livelihoods program, Mary received training on sustainable farming practices and was provided with drought-resistant seeds and seedlings. With newfound knowledge and resources, she transformed her small piece of land into a thriving farm, growing crops that now feed her family and generate income through local sales. Today, Mary not only provides for her children but also inspires other women in her community to embrace sustainable agriculture.

Her story is a testament to how empowerment through knowledge and resources can break the cycle of poverty and create lasting change.
