Regenerative Farming
In Turkana’s rural drylands, family farmers face daily struggles. Farmlands are degraded, droughts persist, and pests and diseases spread rapidly. Water runs off instead of soaking into the soil, evaporation is high, and many farmers abandon their fields. Annual yields have collapsed from 2,500 kilograms to just 200 kilograms per acre. These challenges hurt entire communities—children face malnutrition, women and youth lose farming jobs, and families struggle to put food on the table.
The root problem is clear: farmers lack knowledge in regenerative farming, climate resilience skills, and access to AI-driven tools for managing pests, diseases, and unpredictable weather. Civicom Aid is on the ground responding.
Through regenerative farming, families restore soils, build bunds, and use vegetative propagation to increase water infiltration, recharge groundwater, and expand vegetation cover. With your support as a donor, partner, or volunteer, these solutions bring lasting food security and hope.
Vegetative Propagation
In many rural dryland areas, trees are lost and farmlands lie exposed to scorching sunrays. Families endure poor harvests, shrinking incomes, and worsening food insecurity, while climate change makes recovery even harder.
Civicom Aid equips farmers with vegetative propagation—a simple, low-cost technique of regrowing trees from stumps, roots, or leaves. With survival rates of up to 98%, farmers restore their land affordably without relying on costly seedlings or machinery.
This approach restores tree cover, enriches soils, conserves water, and increases harvests. It lifts family incomes, regenerates ecosystems, and strengthens resilience against droughts and floods. By 2030, we aim to expand tree cover across 10,000 hectares of farmland and build climate-smart communities.
Your support makes this transformation possible. As a donor, partner, or volunteer, you can help farmers restore land, secure food, and protect the environment for future generations.
AI in Farming
In many rural areas, family farmers work without the guidance of agricultural extension officers or reliable weather forecasts. Crop pests and diseases spread unchecked, and unpredictable weather strikes without warning. The result is falling yields, rising losses, and worsening food insecurity that threatens entire communities.
Civicom Aid is changing this. We empower farmers with AI-driven tools that detect pests, diagnose crop diseases with prescriptions, and forecast weather with accuracy. With these innovations, farmers gain timely solutions to act early, protect harvests, and adapt to climate change—leading to higher yields, lower costs, and stronger food security.
By 2035, we aim to equip 120,000 farmers with AI-driven farming skills. Your support as a donor, partner, or volunteer makes this possible—helping farmers access transformative technology, build smarter farms, secure livelihoods, and create resilient, future-ready communities.
Bunds Propagation
In Turkana’s drylands, rainfall is scarce and quickly lost through runoff. Soils remain dry, leaving the land unable to sustain crops or vegetation. Seeds fail to germinate, once-productive lands turn barren, and families face poor harvests, shrinking grazing areas, and deepening food insecurity.
Civicom Aid mobilizes communities to design and build half-moon bunds that capture and hold rainwater. These low-cost earth structures use simple tools and community labor, making them both affordable and sustainable for farmers.
Bunds slow water runoff, improve infiltration, and trigger dormant seeds to sprout. They regreen landscapes, raise tree survival rates to 95%, enrich soils, and restore biodiversity—transforming barren land into fertile farmland.
By 2030, we aim to restore 2,000 hectares of degraded drylands. Your support as a donor, partner, or volunteer makes this possible—helping communities secure food, conserve nature, and protect future generations.
