Green Life Farming

From Soil to Self-Reliance

In rural East Africa, the majority of the population are farmers, the food supply is sufficient, however, children are often malnourished due to a lack of food diversity. Green Life Farming project offers farming skills and knowledge to rural farmers, educating them on how to plant nutrient rich plants and vegetables, allowing them to thrive on nutritional diets throughout the year. At the same time, this project can also serve as a farming demonstration centre for teaching and training purposes. We all look forward to seeing long lasting transformation.

Organic Farming

By sharing agricultural knowledge and skills, Step30 helps villagers grow a wider variety of fruits and vegetables, improving both their diets and nutrition. In 2019, our first rural transformation hub in Kenya reached a key milestone with the establishment of the Green Life Demonstration Farm. Through hands-on training at the farm, villagers learn practical techniques such as using organic fertilizers and managing crop rotation.

Agricultural Training Center

To strengthen the impact of agricultural education, Step30 envisioned building a dedicated training center with dormitories, allowing farmers to stay on-site, save travel time, and avoid interruptions in their learning. In 2024, with the support of the Wan Hai Charity Foundation, this vision took shape as we expanded the demonstration farm to include a full Agricultural Training Center—offering farmers comprehensive, hands-on training for sustainable agriculture.

Eco-Toilets

Unlike traditional pit latrines, ecological compost toilets are more hygienic and sustainable. By collecting human waste together with organic materials such as sawdust or maize husks, odors are absorbed and eliminated. The mixture is then composted and transformed into organic soil, which can be used to enrich farmland.

Holistic Land Management

In Africa, pastoralism has long been a way of life, but years of continuous grazing have left grasslands depleted and livestock unhealthy. Step30’s Grazing Program introduces rotational grazing, guiding villagers to divide land into sections so herds can graze alternately. This allows grass to regenerate, while manure naturally enriches the soil. The result is healthier livestock, restored land, and a more sustainable way of life.
