The multi-year programme will reach 180 community enterprises across Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda, with governance models designed by the cooperatives themselves.

The feature-length documentary chronicling three years of community-led stewardship in the Rift Valley will premiere at the festival's opening night.
Building on the success of 12,000 households in Kenya, the programme now reaches an additional 8,000 farming families with soil-health training and seed capital.

Three years ago, the road between Rutshuru and Kibumba was a line drawn in fear. Families crossed it only at dawn, and only in groups.

Three-year capital cycles have trained a generation of African entrepreneurs to optimise for survival, not for the slow, compounding work of building something their grandchildren could inherit.
The most important climate technology on the African continent is not a turbine, a panel, or a credit. It is a handful of living soil. And the engineers building it are 20,000 smallholder farmers who have stopped asking the rain for permission.
