She turned a huge plot of land, filled with trash into an area where crops are now grown. Really an amazing story. Looking forward to hearing more about this innovative project.

It's hugely exciting. On the photos of the worm farm, this picture is from Gilgil, where we trained the Kigogo Organic farmers. We will be putting up the worm farm in Kibera within the next two weeks. Hopefully I will post the latest on Kibera today Hi
