Farms: Mercy Njuthe | proud owner of a flourishing farm in Kenya

Mercy Njuthe is a smallholder farmer in Makima, Kenya. In five years, Mercy has gone from having to send her children to bed hungry, to being the proud owner of a flourishing farm, on which she grows a wide array of fruit and vegetables: papaya, mango and passionfruit, sorghum, maize and chilli. Mercy has established a farm resilient to climate change, and is passionate about other women becoming as resilient as her.
