Lead sponsor and founding shareholder
Founded with Safari Yoga
Safari Yoga will sponsor and create the first Safari Harvest centre as a practical demonstration of capitalism with a social conscience: a real business that earns revenue, pays workers, shares profit, educates women, supports farmers, and scales without relying on donation administration.

A market-based empowerment system
Safari Harvest is structured as a revenue-generating food enterprise, not a traditional NGO. The model starts with real crops, real labour, real customers, and transparent value creation.
Add value
Women clean, sort, wash, cut, dry, package, brand, and prepare produce for higher-value markets.
Sell directly
Sell through online orders, Nairobi supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, health boxes, and branded retail channels.
Share prosperity
Women receive a base rate for hours worked and share in 15% of net profit based on verified hours contributed.
Women’s Prosperity Share
Flexible work. Real income. Shared ownership of value.
The program is designed to fit around women’s lives while still producing measurable income and dignity. Women can work verified hours in processing, packing, quality control, online order preparation, training, administration, and farmer coordination.

15% profit poolDistributed from net profit by verified hours worked.
EducationFood safety, finance, wellness, enterprise, digital skills.
