KickStart International

The Starter Pump is officially out! Today, our dear friend and partner Emanuel Wakhungu, Kakamega County Director of Irrigation, received the first-ever Starter Pump released to market. We can't wait to bring this game-changing innovation to scale in 2021!

In the wake of recent civil unrest in Nigeria, mechanisms for local and inclusive economic growth are needed more than ever. We are thankful for partners like @ADYINK Agriculture Academy, who are working to ensure KickStart's tools for resilient livelihoods and food security are in the hands of Nigerian farming families.

Congratulations to our partner @worldfoodprogramme on winning this year's #nobelprize! COVID-19 has exasperated vulnerabilities to hunger worldwide we are honored to be working with #WFP teams to build irrigation + food production capacities across SSA for greater resilience now and for the future

Pole Pole! After 2 days battling bad roads and weather conditions, our team made it to Turkana County and delivered 200 pumps to World Vision farmers, in support of community peace-building efforts. Thank you to the local leadership and community members who helped to dig us out!
