Awesome Blossoms Urban Farming Project is an initiative taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit the negative impacts of climate change in the slums.
Awesome Blossoms is a social enterprise developed by Safe Spaces; created and directed by Peninah Nthenya Musyimi. In the Mathare slums of Nairobi, Safe Spaces piloted an organic water efficient hydroponic farm in partnership with a primary school. 72 women micro-entrepreneurs are producing vegetables and earning a living. 15 young women “Peer Educators” are presently trained as coaches. The aim now is to create farms at 3 more schools and develop 75 more women micro-entrepreneurs. Empower women capable of generating income and growing nutritious food through skills learned in the Awesome Blossoms’ training programs.We will develop 45 more Peer Educators as coaches and teach nutrition and environmental care.
Safe, sustainable food sources are critical especially in the slums with its multitude of challenges. Awesome Blossoms positively impacts the entire community giving access to healthy food. Climate friendly farming practices are taught resulting in increased productivity. Additionally, growing within the communities decreases harvest losses due to transport issues.
