2. 5 food crop collection centres

3. More capacity building: 12,000 farmers to be trained

4. Dairy production - training to 3 cooperatives

5. Dairy development – 3 cooling plants

Parameter 4: Nutrition Diversity

To complement Solidaridad’s agri-nutrition interventions, we arelooking for partners to provideindividual smallholder farmer packs(with nutritious seedlings, fertilizersand other farm inputs).

The designated partner will alsoimplement Kitchen Gardens inschools in our coffee areas wereNestlé is engaging on its nutritioneducation programme, theNestlé Healthy Kids Programme.

Parameter 5: Education

Aroma Scholarship Zoegas Design Competition Nestlé Healthy Kids

Scholarships to the most deserving and needy high schools students whose parents earn their living through coffee

Packaging design competition for university students for Zoegas end of year limited edition coffee under the ‘coffee by women’ programme

Nestlé's global nutrition education programme in 120 primary schools in coffee areas

25 students since launch in 2016

20 students from University of Nairobi

150 primary schools, 450 teachers and 54,000 students

Parameter 6: HealthCare

Health Camps and health education community meetings in coffee growing areas for the prevention of chronic diseases met with resounding success

Because of patient data confidentiality, monitoring and evaluation is challenging

2016: 37563 people reached through 13 health camps and 1076 community meetings

2017: 40000+ (target)Thru 22 health camps and 1098 community meetings

Parameters 7 & 8: Access to Clean Water and Clean Energy

We are currently in discussions with potential partners to

Implement a Clean Water and Clean Energy project

Clean Energy:• A Biogas project for the Nestlé Coffee Farmers• CMS can offer a credit package to finance bio-

digesters to eliminate cooking practices using firewood or charcoal.

Clean Water:• Promote usage of water tanks and water purification

tablets• Solvatten water purifying solar tanks as a possible

option
