Arrival in Kenya — Beginning the Field Journey
RIYO has arrived in Kenya to begin the next stage of community engagement and field learning. The current focus is on listening, understanding local realities, visiting the project area, and building meaningful relationships before future project steps are taken.
This journal will be updated with photos, observations, and short reports from the farm, community meetings, local partner discussions, and ongoing project development.
