Grow food. Teach skills. Change lives.
Organic Food Kenya helps communities build food security through organic farming, permaculture education, clean water projects, nutrition, sanitation, youth support, and hands-on agricultural training.
Modern agriculture skills for stronger communities.
Organic Food Kenya provides trainings and modern agriculture skills to poor communities in Kenya by developing fertile grounds to nourish organic foods, improve food security, and change the lives of community members.
Organic permaculture
Develop organic permaculture gardening and farming techniques that communities can continue using.
Resource center
Establish a permaculture resource center and outreach program serving the local community.
Livelihood support
Raise literacy, nurture nature sports talents, and build sustainable livelihoods for the less fortunate.
Hands-on training rooted in local culture.
OFK believes in sustainable permaculture models integrated into community culture and traditional methods of agriculture. The organization works with widows, school children, disadvantaged youth, and small-scale rural farmers.
School gardens
Educational school kitchen gardens where children learn organic farming, water management, nutrition, and microeconomics.
Water systems
Clean water harvesting through tanks, resource-center water access, and sanitation support.
Nutrition
Life-skills education focused on hygiene, sanitation, food production, and nutrition.
Micro-enterprise
Poultry and farm-based projects that support income generation and provide manure for soil fertility.
Food security, biodiversity, education, and dignity.
The work is broad because the problem is broad: poverty, food insecurity, water, health, education, biodiversity, and opportunity all connect.
- Poverty eradication through practical agriculture and community development.
- Training communities on agribusiness, permaculture, and organic farming.
- Promotion of food security, biodiversity, agroforestry, and education.
- Support for micro-enterprises, vulnerable people, and disadvantaged youth.
- Partnerships with groups, NGOs, individual donors, and aligned organizations.
- Engagement in HIV/AIDS programs and community health support.
Clean water, permagardens, seeds, and fruit trees.
Organic Food Kenya’s newest field achievements include a borehole at Kamiyawa Village, a water pond in Kandaria, expanded permagarden training for households, and direct support with seeds and fruit trees so families can implement what they learn.
Kamiyawa Village borehole
OFK completed a borehole at Kamiyawa Village, where the farm is situated. It now serves more than 4,000 people in the community.
Kandaria water pond
OFK completed a water pond in Kandaria, providing another community water source that serves about 3,000 people.
Permagarden training
OFK has trained more than 150 households, reaching over 600 family members with practical permagarden skills.
Seeds and fruit trees
Families are receiving seeds, fruit trees, and implementation support so training turns into productive home gardens.
The Skills & Seeds Center.
Organic Food Kenya already helps families fight hunger through permagardens, organic farming, clean water, and nutrition. Now we want to build an Integrated Community Development & Vocational Training Center near Oyugis—giving young people practical skills for jobs, self-employment, and a stronger future.
Families are learning how to grow healthy food, but many youth still leave school without marketable skills or nearby training opportunities. This center will connect food security with lasting income and independence.
Computer Skills
Microsoft Office, typing, internet use, digital literacy, and preparation for online work.
Salon & Beauty
Hairdressing, braiding, makeup, customer care, and practical skills for independent income.
Tailoring & Sewing
Clothes making, school uniforms, sewing-machine operation, and small-business skills.
Permagardens
Expanded organic-farming training for youth and families using sustainable local methods.
Goals & Community Impact
- Train more than 100 youth every year in practical employment and business skills.
- Help more families grow reliable supplies of healthy, organic food.
- Combine food security through permagardens with income through vocational skills.
- Reduce poverty, malnutrition, unemployment, idleness, and dependency.
- Empower women and young people to become skilled and self-reliant.
What We Need to Build
- Two classrooms for vocational and computer training.
- One office for program coordination and permagarden demonstrations.
- Computers, desks, chairs, and other classroom furniture.
- Five sewing machines and complete salon-training equipment.
- Permagarden tools for hands-on agricultural training.
Help build opportunity from the ground up.
Donations, prayers, and partnerships will equip young people with practical skills while helping families continue to grow healthy food. Local materials and labor will be used wherever possible to keep construction costs down.

Who We Are
Organic Food Kenya works directly with remote communities and families, teaching people how to establish productive permagardens and grow nutritious organic food. This work has already brought hope, better health, and greater food security. The Skills & Seeds Center is the next step: turning that foundation into broader education, employment, and community development.
“Together we can build a healthier, more self-reliant community.”

Remote village near Oyugis, Nyanza Region, Kenya
A life-saving community vehicle is now serving the mission.
Through the generous donation of a friend, Organic Food Kenya has acquired the reliable vehicle the project urgently needed. We are deeply grateful. This vehicle can now support emergency transportation, field visits, community training, and the delivery of seeds, fruit trees, tools, and supplies across Nyagiela and five surrounding remote villages.
Emergency transport
Help mothers in labor, sick children, neighbors, and elders reach hospital care in Oyugis more quickly.
Field training
Carry volunteers and trainers to families, permagarden sites, and clean-water projects in remote areas.
Village deliveries
Deliver fruit trees, seeds, farm tools, first-aid supplies, and other materials over difficult rural roads.
Why this matters
There is no hospital in the project’s immediate area. Families must reach Oyugis town during medical emergencies, and dependable transportation—especially at night—can be the difference between precious minutes and dangerous hours. This donated vehicle closes a critical gap for the community and the project.
- Reduce emergency transportation delays for rural families.
- Support Nyagiela and five neighboring villages.
- Help volunteers reach more families and field projects.
- Strengthen food, water, health, and livelihood programs.
Thank you
We thank the friend whose generous donation made this vehicle possible, and every person who prayed, shared the need, and supported Organic Food Kenya. Your kindness has created a practical, lasting tool that will serve families and strengthen the mission for years to come.
“This is more than a vehicle. It is answered prayer—and hope on wheels.”
With gratitude,
