Food insecurity in the urban areas is becoming serious and requires  urgent intervention. Urban areas,  especially the slums have high populations. In Nairobi alone, over 60%  of the city\\u2019s population (5% of Kenya\\u2019s total population) lives in the  slums - About 2 million people. Most of these people rely on low-wage  casual labour to survive, and as such they rely on food bought from  markets to feed their families.

Mwengenye Lifestyle CBO in Njiiru was formed in 2018. The organization is composed of young men and women who are changing the food insecurity narrative in an urban set up through developing an innovative urban garden that can be adopted at house hold level. The custom made gardens can support a family with fresh vegetables and spices hence ensuring a reliable and healthy food.
