Women’s Economic Empowerment in Action

Priscilla Wambui runs Precious Weru Farmers Hub in Kirima Ngai Location, Ol Jorok Sub-County in Nyandarua County. In 2018, Priscilla took her business administration training to launch a small farm supply shop. 3 years later, our Seeds2B team engaged with her to set up a potato seed nursery at her 3-acre farm not too far from the shop. Now, she is supplying 350 local farmers with clean, certified potato seeds and a range of other products they need to support their farming activities – saving them considerable time and expense as the nearest alternative outlets for such products are about 5 km away at a market called Kasuku. She trains her farmer customers on climate-smart agricultural methods, helping them adapt to the changing weather and environment. She also works with an independent, trained, and suitably equipped entrepreneurial spraying service provider, to ensure that the farmers can protect their crops safely for them and their families. And she is making enough profits to have leased an additional 9 acres to expand her farming activities. Her ambition is now to get into logistics so she can support an expanded number of farmers across her community. Women’s economic empowerment in action.
