Nairobi Urban Farmers

Mazingira Institute, a Nairobi-based NGO, provides training to urban farmers on food production, processing and distribution. Mazingira, which means environment in Swahili, was started in 1978 by Diana Lee-Smith and Davinder Lamba.

Over the last three decades, Mazingira has worked to create awareness about climate change, human rights, and urban agriculture, while also training communities to learn better skills to increase income generation and well-being.
