In urban and peri-urban areas of Kenya, land constraint is a significant barrier to agriculture. Many households live on small plots where traditional farming is impossible. Vertical gardening bags offer a revolutionary way to grow food upward, utilizing vertical space.

Maximizing Small Spaces

Vertical gardening bags are multi-layered grow bags made from durable, UV-resistant fabric. A single bag takes up less than a square meter of ground space but can hold up to 100 plants when stacked vertically.

  • High Yield in Tiny Areas: Perfect for backyards, balconies, or small compound corners.
  • Water Efficiency: Water poured at the top filters down through all layers, saving up to 80% water.
  • Easy Maintenance: Minimizes bending and weeding, making it highly accessible.

    • Boosting Household Income

    Through our Women-Led Climate Resilience Program, we supported 30 vulnerable women with vertical gardening kits. The results have been remarkable. Families are now harvesting fresh kale, spinach, and onions daily.

    "I no longer spend money buying vegetables in the market. Instead, my neighbors come to buy from me, allowing me to pay my children's school fees on time." — Sharon, program participant.

    By enabling vertical farming, we are securing household nutrition and establishing sustainable micro-businesses for women.
