Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA) distributes avocado and banana seedlings in Kenya’s Muranga County, contributing to the struggle of the people of the region against poverty, strengthening institutions and regional agriculture.

TİKA provided avocado and banana seedlings to 10 schools, 10 health centers and a total of 1,500 people consisting of disabled, youth and women within the scope of the Project to Combat Poverty-Related Diseases and Problems by Supporting Banana and Avocado Production in the Murang’a county, which faces problems related to poverty and jiggers. Within the scope of the project, in cooperation with the Ahadi Kenya Trust, a total of 25,000 seedlings, 10,000 bananas and 15,000 avocados, were delivered.

Through this project, the people of the region will diversify their income sources by producing avocados and bananas. The project will also contribute to healthy nutrition. In addition, the project is expected to play an important role in combating poverty-related diseases and problems.
