The overall objective of the project is to improve the socio-economic conditions of 2000 small holder farmers, in Busia County, Kenya, through enhanced sesame cultivation market access and income generation. The uniqueness of this project lies in its potential of making connections between small holder farmers producing sesame on one side and an access to international markets on the other side. Farmers are not only to be trained or provided with some tools but they are to get a real place where to sell their products for a reasonable and fair price. Pre-arranged market access secured by reliable international partner, Ten Senses Africa, with long-term experience in fair-trade in Kenya is one of the main added values. Thus the project tries to address the main ubiquitous problem in various agricultural projects that is the low capacity of local markets to absorb, for a decent price, the quantity and/or quality of products cultivated by project target groups. Given the social business character and fair-trade component this project also has the potential to become a long-term sustainable social business in the future rather than a single short-term project. Thanks to this suis generis cooperation between two Slovak NGOs, ADRA Slovakia on side and Integra Foundation/ Ten Senses Africa on the other, the effectiveness and efficiency of the Slovak ODA is expected to be boosted. Partnering with ADRA Kenya that has long-term experience in community mobilization and agriculture projects brings about other positive effects. This project proposal covers the first part of the so called value chain process, i.e. everything from setting up the social business including community mobilization, group and cooperative formation, fair-trade and bio certifications, trainings, procurement of tools and machines, land preparation, cultivation, harvesting, collection, storing and selling to our partner Ten Senses Africa. Other activities that go beyond the handing over of sesame to our business partner are not included in this project.
