• 30 % goes to Jam Raye Agro Holdings — and we reinvest 65 % of our share into the next woman-led farm.

Right now in Kisii we’re raising a bright, secure home for 200 laying hens—complete with a roomy fenced yard where they can scratch in the morning sun. Each fresh egg will feed local families and put daily income in a woman farmer’s hands, while a share of the profits plants seeds for the next small farm we’ll uplift. If this vision makes your heart beat a little faster, please give what you can today and help us swing those coop doors open.

Project Update – 15 June 2025
We’ve just invested another 20,000 KES, and the fence is officially finished. Next up: raising funds for 200 hens and six months of feed. With that in place, we expect our first eggs in about five months—and we’ll be gearing up to widen our customer base and add a delivery option.

Project Update – 2 June 2025
I’ve just wired another KES 30,000 to Mama Mercy in Kisii. She’s bought all fencing supplies and has three fundis on-site installing the posts and wire. The goats are healthy and growing—nothing to report there.
To finish the fence we still need about KES 20,000. I’m covering the costs out of my Canadian paycheque, so progress is steady, but not as fast as we’d like. Once the fence is done, the next step is to bring in 200 layer chicks and stock several months of feed. While the birds mature, we’ll break ground on their dedicated coop.

Update · 30 May 2025
We met to nail down practical next steps for the Kisii farm. First, the poultry: we’ll build a dedicated coop for up to 300 birds, with a separate layers section so eggs can be collected without disturbing the flock. On fencing, we agreed on layout and are sourcing posts, wire, and gate hardware now. In parallel, we’ve started sowing our own feed crop; if germination stays on track, we should be off the feed-store bill by September 2025.
Several people have asked how they can get involved. We’re exploring a straightforward contribution model. For clarity: Jam Raye Agro Holdings Ltd keeps 35 % of net profit for bare-bones admin, and reinvests the remaining 65 % into new partnerships with women farmers. Donations are welcome, but only where values and long-term goals align.
Discussed plans to increase the herd to 15 by September. The intention is to purchase 5 female Gala or Somali goats. After the first litter of kids, we will acquire a pure Boer or Kalahari Red.
