G-BiACK’s one-acre demonstration farm in Thika — transformed from bare land into 160+ organically grown beds
From Hunger to
a Lighthouse of Sustainability
G-BiACK was founded by Samuel Nderitu and his wife Peris Wanjiru, both graduates of the renowned Manor House Agricultural Centre in Kitale, Kenya — sponsored by the Kilili Self Help Project.
"I went to agricultural school through much effort — I had no way to pay. Someone paid for me. Later I found out she was a donor from the Bay Area in the United States. Thanks to her trust, G-BiACK exists and I do what I do."
— Samuel Nderitu, Founder & Director, G-BiACKAfter witnessing the violence of Kenya’s post-election crisis, Samuel and Peris relocated to Thika — an area facing a six-year drought and high HIV/AIDS rates — where they felt their work could have the greatest impact. Beginning on a single acre that had “only a pair of mango trees,” they built a farm that now has over 160 vegetable beds, a greenhouse, fish ponds, fruit trees, a seed bank, a community library, and a women’s centre.
