Series 15 - Ep 14: Aggregation, Women farmers, Digital Extension and Shamba ni Biz Drama
Welcome to the 15th season of Shamba Shape Up!
Meet Praxides Wanyama, a focused and organized chicken farmer in Kanduyi, Bungoma, with big dreams—not just for herself, but for her entire community!
In this episode, we help Praxides scale up her farm and impact by introducing her to key innovations and support systems:
- Farmer Service Centers (FSC) – Learn how Praxides can become an aggregator, buying from other farmers and selling to bigger buyers.
- E-Extension Services – Real-time farming support is now just a call or click away via platforms like iShamba.
- Rainwater Harvesting – Gutters and a tank installation mean no more wasted rain.
- WOFAAK Support – We explore the realities women farmers face at home and how support groups & chamas help them rise above challenges.
Praxides is proof that even small farms can spark BIG change. Tune in to see how she’s learning, leading, and lifting others with her!
