Introduction and background
Losidan Mission Centre (LMC) is a faith-based non-profit organization committed to community development and empowerment in Marsabit Kenya. The mission of LMC is to improve the lives of vulnerable populations through education, healthcare, and sustainable agricultural practices. This proposal outlines a comprehensive plan to enhance agricultural productivity in the face of growing water scarcity and land degradation, which are exacerbated by climate change in the region. The need for sustainable agriculture is critical in arid areas where traditional farming methods are not viable due to inconsistent rainfall and depleted groundwater resources. By integrating solar energy with modern farming practices, LMC seeks to offer innovative solutions that address these challenges while improving food security and creating economic opportunities for local farmers. using on education, healthcare, and sustainable agricultural practices.
Our Mission
Our mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable populations through initiatives in education, healthcare, and sustainable agriculture. In the face of growing challenges like water scarcity and land degradation, we are dedicated to fostering resilience and self-reliance within our communities.
Project location
The project is be located in Marsabit - Kenya, an area known for its arid climate and frequent droughts. The community in this region is predominantly engaged in subsistence farming, and many farmers lack access to reliable irrigation and modern agricultural tools. The region has access to underground water sources, making it ideal for solar-powered borehole systems. The project will be implemented in collaboration with local leaders, farmer groups, and community stakeholders to ensure it meets the needs of the target population.
Target beneficiaries
The primary beneficiaries of this project will be local farmers, particularly small-scale and subsistence farmers, who currently struggle to produce enough food due to unreliable water sources and poor agricultural practices. The secondary beneficiaries will include local women and youth who are often marginalized in traditional agricultural systems. The project will directly benefit an estimated 500 families and indirectly support the broader community through increased food availability, economic growth, and improved living conditions
