Introduction

About Us

Problem

1.

Prosopis Juliflora is a world’s top 100 worst invasive species from Central America that has taken over 2 million hectares of land in Kenya and grows at 15% per year.

2.

Prosopis keeps communities in northwestern Kenya in poverty.

3.

Kenyan communities do not have tools to harvest Prosopis or access to markets to sell products from Prosopis, although large global markets exist for these products.
