A curated journey through the experience
Ngong Hills
We drive you to a Kikuyu village near Nairobi, where Kenyan grandmas are often responsible for raising their grandchildren in their family when parents can no longer look after them. Sometimes up to 20 family members live in a grandmother’s one-room corrugated iron home, and the financial constraints are extremely challenging. But thanks to a pig-farming small business program supported by One Horizon and the involvement of travellers, the grandmas earn a sustainable source of income from pig-husbandry to feed their families. You meet the community’s warm and welcoming grandmothers, be shown around a pig farm and pitch in with the chores if you like, join in some joyful singing and dancing over a cup of local tea or chai, help cook lunch of beans and ugali (a maize flour dish eaten across East Africa), or learn how to make a chapati (soft layered bread). Your tour fees and visit support their training and this is a rare opportunity to support a grassroots social enterprise.
