Description
Joyce Ngumbao dishes up muthokoi, a traditional corn, bean and greens dish, using food raised on her family farm in Kwa Kavisi, Kenya. She serves her husband Pius Kisumo (blue) and neighbors Ajelina Kamutu, Jennifer Muoki (blue) and her daughter Faith Muoki at the family farm in Kwa Kavisi, Kenya. .Utooni Development Organization (UDO), an MCC partner, works with farmers in Machakos, Makueni and Kajiado counties of Kenya, who are suffering the impact of climate change – unpredictable rainy seasons, decreased rain, and flooding when it does rain. UDO is teaching farmers to implement conservation agriculture, crop diversity and community savings groups as primary ways to increase food security.
