Pa pill on foundation Papillon Foundation ignites resilient farming in Kenya by distributing

Papillon Foundation is a Nairobi‑based climate‑smart agriculture initiative led by Kelvin Kihara that equips smallholder farmers with certified drought‑tolerant seed kits, season‑long hands‑on agronomy training delivered by local community extension agents, and blockchain‑enabled traceability to verify provenance and unlock buyer premiums. We implement through a registered CBO partner in Murang’a County to ensure community trust and rapid scale. We request KES 16,000,000 to scale operations over 12–18 months, finalize tech integration, hire core staff, and secure buyer contracts that translate agronomic gains into lasting income for smallholders. 🔥🦋
