The Kibera youth reform self help group started in 2001 in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. The founding youths aimed to improve their living standards and encouraging self dependency among them selves.
After involving themselves in other activities successfully they decided to keep their environment clean by clearing a big dumping site and turning it into an organic farm. With the help of private sponsors and the local authority they started the organic farm and planted various vegetables.
Apart from having a cleaner environment they also felt the need of providing the residents with fresh vegetables from the farm near their households at a cheaper price, hence generating income from their farm.
