WFP project to help Kibera become food secure

Kibera will soon be food secure, thanks to two programmes by the World Food Programme Innovation Office and the Human Needs Project organization. Hydroponics 2 Grow, abbreviated as H2Grow and Empowerment in Action (EMPACT) are aimed at improving the living standards of the nearby populace by not only giving them access to healthy yet affordable food and clean water but also equipping the youth with relevant digital skills to use in making a living working online jobs.  Situated at the Kibera town centre and the adjacent Olympic Primary and Secondary Schools, the two projects have illustrated that urban farming if properly implemented, could be the bridge between poverty and food security in cities across the world.
