First Lady Rachel Ruto has proved to be a great farmer. She shared images capturing the flourishing kitchen garden she launched at State House Nairobi.
Taking to X, Rachel said the initiative is a pilot program for the National Kitchen Gardens project, which is part of a broader national food security initiative led by women across all counties.
Dubbed Mama Kitchen Gardens, President William Ruto’s spouse said the initiative seeks to inspire women across counties to cultivate flourishing kitchen gardens near their homes.
The project will provide urban families with additional training in urban farming techniques.
Rachel said the kitchen garden pilot at State House will provide vegetables at no cost to State House employees living in the staff quarters, as well as support the neighbouring public schools.
In the pilot project, she is farming a variety of vegetables, including sukuma wiki and spinach.
