The Triple A Project – Accelerating Adoption of Agroforestry

Members of Ruandit Self-Help Group tend to coffee and grevillea tree seedlings. Located in a shady area close to the Nyando river, the group was given permission to use this otherwise unused government land to house their nursery. The group takes shifts to operate the project, with two group members coming to the space per day. Though the seedlings are sold in order to grow the group’s social fund, the group also undertakes horticulture here, for group members’ use. In addition to their ‘development group’ outfit, Ruandit also formed a Village Savings and Loan Association (VSLA) group, and incorporates a youth group. Both the VSLA and youth group meet on weekly basis.
