WOMEN BUSINESS HUB

  Women Business Hub is working on strategies to assist low income young farmers and Key Populations in marketing their produce at an affordable cost to both consumers and producers.

Women Business Hub works with rural youths to transform them through life skills development and community engagement. The organization is using the following strategies to transform young people’s lives (1) Developing self-confidence and self-esteem : Life skills such as communication, leadership, problem-solving, and decision-making can help young people build their self-confidence and self-esteem. When they learn how to express their thoughts and opinions, solve problems, and make decisions, they become more self-assured and assertive. (2) Enhancing social skills : Life skills such as teamwork, communication, and conflict resolution can help young people improve their social skills. These skills enable them to build positive relationships, work effectively in teams, and resolve conflicts in a peaceful and constructive manner. (3) Developing resilience : Life skills such as adaptability, problem-solving, and coping skills can help young people develop resilience. Resilience is the ab

Community organizations and networks are uniquely positioned to interact with affected communities, respond quickly to community needs and issues, and engage with affected and vulnerable groups. They offer direct services to communities while also advocating for better programming and policy environments. This allows them to influence the development, reach, implementation, and oversight of public systems and policies, as well as the contribution of a community to health.

  According to the United Nations World Health Organization, "by 2030, six out of every ten people will live in a city, and by 2050, this proportion will increase to seven out of ten people," implying that more young people than ever are moving to cities and towns to find work, leaving few behind to work in rural areas. Kenya's rural population is declining as a result of urbanization. The majority of Kenya's population is young. Food insecurity will be a major threat to health, social welfare, and economic development if they do not engage in agriculture. Engaging youth in agriculture has recently become a hot topic and has risen to the top of the development agenda, as there is growing concern around the world that young people have become disenchanted with agriculture. Women Business Hub is challenging this narrative by reintroducing young people to modern farming technology through the use of vertical farming bags and digital agribusiness education. 

One of the most essential things you can do to be healthy is to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. The nutritional content of veggies is maximum when picked fresh from the garden. You also reduce the chance of consuming veggies laced with toxic chemicals because you know precisely what you're eating. Furthermore, including children in the growing process increases the likelihood that they will try the veggies. One advantage of eating garden veggies is that it lowers your monthly food bill. You can cultivate organic veggies for a fraction of the price you would pay in a shop. Pulling weeds, planting, and digging in the garden are all strenuous activities that can burn up to 400 calories every hour. Gardening is also beneficial.
