ICTs & Agirultural Market Access Workshops

In Kenya, like other parts of Africa, rural communities relay on Agriculture as the major source of income. Various studies indicate that rural communities luck access to market information, markets, innovative technologies, and financing tools that can assist them in increasing their agricultural productivity and income. This lack of information access continues to cause many of Kenya's Small Scale farmers to languish in poverty despite the fact that there are numerous governmental, and donor funded projects working to provide these tools as part of poverty alleviation to rural communities.

Every rural community in Kenya has a number of successful professionals working in the Kenyan urban cities and across the global, unfortunately studies indicate that while many of these successful professionals have provided financialsupport to their individual families, very few have taken the time to invested in theircommunities especially in family business ventures as a means of poverty alleviation. The result has been financial dependence of rural communities on very few individual, instead of financial independence through successful business ventures.Ukamba has created a networking group on facebook www.facebook.com called the Ukamba Business Club to help people network and share business ideas and contacts.
