Soil & conservation
Protecting and improving soil health through conservation farming, biochar, and sustainable land management.

MALOOI, MAKUENI COUNTY · KENYA
Equipping farmers. Restoring land. Cultivating lasting hope through Christ-centered agricultural education.



OUR PURPOSE
We exist to equip and empower hungry families in rural Kenya using a faith-based approach to sustainable farming.
Through hands-on training and practical education, we help Kenyan farmers care for their soil, increase harvests, generate income, and build stronger futures for their families. Our goal is local self-sufficiency, not dependency.
OUR ROOTS
The vision began at Kioko's home in 2006, grew into a church tree nursery that same year, and expanded onto land purchased for the training center in 2010.
The demonstration farm grew from a tree nursery established by the AIC Malooi Youth Group in 2006. In 2010, the youth expanded their work onto approximately three acres of land, planting trees, conserving soil, and creating a place to learn together.
Pastor Kioko Mwangangi envisioned a farm where neighbors could learn practical agricultural skills while finding hope through Jesus.
Kioko's Story ↗We want to teach our community members they can find Hope From the Soil & Hope from Jesus.
— Kioko Mwangangi, Founder
