If you want to walk fast, walk alone. If you want to walk far, walk together.

Great things are rarely achieved by just one person

Usually, they are accomplished by a group of people, and when everyone is committed to the overall goal, teams move faster, more innovative, and more successful. Motherland was envisioned about three years ago by great-minded individuals with a big and bold vision that requires knowledge, grit, skills, patience, passion, and so much more to build it. It takes a fantastic team who believes in the vision of a regenerative future for all life on earth and works towards it together.

Motherland is an organization that will improve the agricultural and farming practices in local communities within Siaya County in Kenya by working closely with local farmers and African startups to implement sustainable and regenerative solutions. Therefore, Motherland has engaged a dedicated team to create positive change and a brighter future for the community in Siaya.

Our team consists of individuals with diverse professional backgrounds, including agronomists, environmentalists, psychologists, artists, creatives, farmers, and economists. This diversity of expertise allows the team to take a holistic approach to addressing the challenges faced by farmers. Check this out; the group may work with agronomists to identify the most appropriate crop varieties for a specific area. The environmental scientist will be able to study the local ecosystem and identify ways that farmers implement more sustainable practices that protect soil health and conserve natural resources. Also, gives advice on digital technology and data, precision farming to improve crop yields and reduce costs by optimizing planting and harvesting times, as well as nutrient and water use. The psychologist will be able to interview farmers to develop problem-solving and decision-making skills to improve their ability to make effective decisions related to their farming practices. And to create effective communication strategies that address their concerns and promote sustainable and regenerative practice adoption.

As much as we might be diverse, we have one thing in common: We are passionate about uplifting, empowering, and working with the communities to bring change in the best ways possible. We are driven by the same goal.

Having a local impact team is a unique approach to solving pre- and post-harvest challenges in agriculture not only here in Siaya but globally. Only by working closely with farmers and other stakeholders can the team identify the most pressing challenges and develop tailored solutions that are sustainable, regenerative, and effective. One of the critical strengths of the local impact team is the ability to understand the specific needs of the local community.
