Joshua is a former schoolteacher who decided to pursue farming full time. His life has been far from simple as he lives with a disability caused by polio and is still healing from the trauma of losing his son to violence.
When Joshua began farming, his production was limited by the lack of irrigation. He relied on manual watering and farmed only a small area.
Everything changed when he started using irrigation. With it, he was able to increase his vegetable production and make plans for further expansion. “Now I have about half an acre of vegetables. I want to expand to one acre, two acres, three."
For Joshua, farming is not just about profit. It’s a way to empower others, restore dignity, and contribute to a greater national goal—including planting more trees to support Kenya’s climate and land restoration efforts. His vision is clear: expand the tree nursery, improve irrigation, and help young people see farming not as a fallback, but a future.
