2. Background
Hand in Hand Eastern Africa (HiH EA) is a registered Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in Kenya, working for the economic and social empowerment of its poorest citizens to enable program participants to lift themselves out of poverty. HiH EA is part of the Hand in Hand global network. HiH EA works with the marginalized, vulnerable poor rural and peri-urban smallholder farmers (80% women) to help them lift themselves out of poverty through the power of entrepreneurship. The organization started operations in Kenya in October 2010 and is currently operating in 21 Field offices within 26 out of 47 Counties in Kenya. HiH EA has so far mobilized, trained and is training over 300,000 members (80% women, 40% youth) who have created over 296,000 enterprises and over 400,000 jobs.
Hand in Hand Tanzania (TZ) is part of the Hand in Hand network and works in Arusha and Moshi (Kilimanjaro Region). HiH TZ was initiated in 2018, with its headquarters in Arusha. It has mobilized over 16,000 members for enterprise development training and over 14,000 jobs created.
Hand in Hand International based in London provides support to both Hand in Hand EA and Hand in Hand Tanzania. The Hand in Hand model is based on setting up or mobilizing self-help groups that act as savings groups, delivering enterprise skills through training, promoting financial access and providing linkage to broader markets.
3. Project Description
The Enterprise Scaling up Project, funded by the HILTI Foundation, will contribute to the local economy and improve household quality of life for 20,000 farmers in cow dairy, poultry, and banana value chains in Kenya and Tanzania, over a period of 4 years (July 2021 to December 2025). The project will provide the farmers with the skills and opportunities to scale up their enterprises for better incomes and greater production volumes. The project has three main components:
Training in Business and Technical skills: addressing the lack of advanced business and technical skills required to achieve high incomes in farming-based enterprises. There will be two modules on business skills and market awareness and a module on best practice in each of the selected value chains.
Access to Finance: linking project members with vetted pro-poor financial service providers, including “outgrowing” schemes, supporting them to secure and grow their businesses in the selected value chains.
Scale up with Stronger Producer Groups: supporting producer groups to deliver greater volumes and better incomes for the 20,000 project members’ businesses within the selected value chains.
The overall objective of the project is to lift the majority of its members above the World Bank lower-income poverty line of US $3.20, and to lift a significant number of its members above US $8.00 to improve household wellbeing for 20,000 smallholder farmers in Kenya and Tanzania.
The project seeks to achieve the following key result areas.
• Increased profitability and resilience of 20,000 project members’ enterprises.
• Aggregation into 40-60 producer groups delivering greater volumes and better incomes for project members’ enterprises
