Supporting Women Enterprises in Kenya's Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL)
We are proud to introduce our collaboration with the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) in Kenya. This program is dedicated to enhancing the capacity of resilient women enterprises in the dairy and camel meat value chains in the regions of Marsabit and Isiolo.
