Stories from the Soil
Since 2004, we have been dedicated to implementing the Haller Model in Kenya - a proven blueprint for a sustainable ecological and economical future. Over 20 years, Haller has worked with 56 rural communities to restore degraded soils and develop self-sufficient livelihoods on fertile land. Our affordable, sustainable and scalable techniques along with the knowledge, tools and infrastructure have supported smallholders in Kenya to farm sustainably and live extraordinarily resourcefully from their land.
