In the rolling hills of eastern Kenya, the Kinoti family runs their business Shalem. Founders Ruth and Daniel are on the shop floor every day, along with their children Victor and Joy. What started as a modest grain business in the late 1990s grew into a leading processing company of nutritious flour products.
215,000 meals
With over 200 employees, Shalem processes 100 tonnes of grain from 30,000 farmers every day, accounting for over 215,000 meals a day, says Ruth, CEO of Shalem.
Food security
This is much needed in a country where food security is under pressure. Drought, inadequate food chains, poverty and malnutrition continue to put pressure on food security in Kenya, according to the World Food Programme.
Investing from abundance
And this is precisely where the Fair Factory Development Fund wants to make a difference. We invest in agri-food companies in Africa and Asia, such as Shalem in Kenya. We believe in stewardship: dealing responsibly with what God has entrusted to us. From our abundance here, we invest in abundance there.
God-given
"We see the partnership with the Fair Factory Development Fund as God-given," says Ruth. "We have gained partners who not only support financially, but also bring knowledge and confidence."
Join us: invest in food security too
We seek values-driven investors, who want to put their money to work for others, because without capital, impact stagnates.
