Project Summary

Providing business training, expanding access to markets and investors, delivering nutrition education, and supporting urban gardening for small-scale food vendors, especially women and youth, in Nairobi, Kenya.

The Advancing Food Security in Nairobi (AFSN) Program seeks to improve food security for the youth and women living in Nairobi's informal settlements, aiming to bolster resilience against food crises. Its goals include increasing access to affordable, healthy food for low-income communities and promoting better nutrition practices. The program will launch a small enterprise business accelerator to connect food vendors and mother-led businesses with business training, networking, and investors. Additionally, it aims to foster healthy behaviors through mother groups and community health volunteers by advocating for diverse diets, proper infant feeding, and urban gardening of nutritious foods.
