In 2023, Mugendi Muthamia co-founded Kimana Model Farm with the main aim of empowering rural African farmers by bridging the gap between advanced irrigation technologies and practical on-farm application. By showcasing drip irrigation and fertigation in onion farming, he demonstrates how water can be used more efficiently in arid and semi-arid regions like Kajiado County, where water scarcity is a daily challenge. More importantly, he not only demonstrates but also develops simple, easy-to-follow farming protocols that reduce risk and eliminate guesswork, making it easier for smallholders to transition to high-value crops.

He brings not just technical expertise to Kenreshet, but a vision of agriculture that is efficient, reliable, and accessible. By translating innovation into practical solutions, his work contributes to KenReshet’s goal of building resilient farming systems and making agriculture a more sustainable and attractive sector for farmers and investors.
