enterprise that empowers local cashew growing communities in coastal Kenya. Her dream is to see
economic and environmental transformation of these communities, with high poverty levels.
Miswaleh Zingizi & Mwamlole Warrakah come from led to a poverty stricken village where all this
dream began, after meeting a group of women and girls working hard to remove cashew from its
kennels. What they noticed from the women is that they did not understand the real value of the
product they were preparing for sale to middle men in North Coast Kenya, about 28 Kilometers
away from their village. With this discovery, the duo knew that urgent interventions were required,
in a community where half of the population is semi illiterate and experiencing economic
challenges from historical injustices. And this led to the birth of Kaya Nuts
Why choose us?
