Sosoni Farming Project

Sustainable Farming & Support

The Rare Vrienden Foundation has made steady progress in its mission to empower rural communities along River Rare in Kilifi through sustainable agriculture and women-led enterprise.

From the project’s inception, the foundation installed a solar-powered irrigation system to sustain continuous crop production throughout the year. The farm operates on rotational growing cycles, ensuring steady food supply and income for the participating women. It currently produces eggplants, spinach, maize, and fruits such as bananas, watermelon, and passion fruit. In the second half of 2025, the focus has been on watermelon cultivation, with harvest expected before December 2025.
