More than just eggs, it's a foundation. 🥚

This chicken house is a beacon of hope in our community, built by your support through Solve Kenya! It's not just a shelter for hens; it's a powerhouse for empowerment.

Here, vulnerable families are gaining:
✅Sustainable Nutrition: Fresh eggs for daily meals.
✅Reliable Income: Selling eggs and chicks to pay for school fees and medicine.
✅Skills & Dignity: Training in poultry farming and business management.

This is the direct impact of your contributions. But the story doesn't end here. So many more communities are waiting for their turn.

You can help us build the next chapter. Your donation will directly fund more projects like this—providing livestock, training, and essential resources to the most vulnerable.

Why are seed banks important?

A seed bank is a repository where seeds are stored to preserve genetic diversity for future use. Think of it as a "savings account" for seeds.

· Preserves Heritage: Saves traditional, heirloom, and native crop varieties that are being lost to commercial hybrids.

· Climate Resilience: Local seeds are often better adapted to local pests, diseases, and weather conditions.

· Farmer Sovereignty: Frees farmers from relying on purchased seeds every season.

· Biodiversity: Maintains a wide genetic pool, which is crucial for adapting to future challenges.

Types of Seed Banks:

1. Community Seed Bank: The most relevant for your goal. Managed by a village or a group of farmers. Seeds are saved, multiplied, and shared locally.

2. Gene Banks: Large-scale facilities (like national repositories) that store seeds for decades in cold storage for conservation.

3. Seed Libraries: Often in public libraries or community centers, where members "borrow" seeds, grow them, and return some seeds from their harvest.

Key Principles for a Village Seed Bank:

· Selection: Save seeds from the healthiest, most typical plants.

· Processing: Dry seeds thoroughly to prevent mold.

· Storage: Use airtight containers (glass jars, metal tins) with desiccants (like dried neem leaves, ash, or silica gel). Store in a cool, dark, dry place.

· Record Keeping: Document the seed name, variety, source, date stored, and any growing notes.

· Sharing & Exchange: The core idea is to share and multiply, not just hoard. Organize seasonal seed exchange fairs.
