Founding Story
Born from a collective vision in July 2023, a group of agricultural economists, agribusiness professionals, and community development experts came together. Witnessing the struggles of rural youth and the untapped abundance of Africa's soil, they founded Grow Africa Futures. Today, we’ve built a robust institutional framework and are rolling out our Strategic Plan 2027–2031 to scale our impact across Kenya and beyond.
