How do we tackle climate change while nourishing our bodies and communities? Afyalishe Wellness, led by Dr. Monica Mburu, offers a bold answer. Combining regenerative agriculture with nutrition education, this initiative empowers smallholder farmers and youth to thrive amid climate shocks.
What if farming wasn’t just about survival but a tool for resilience? Afyalishe teaches farmers regenerative practices that restore soil health, improve water retention, and grow nutrient-dense crops. These aren’t just crops; they’re solutions—creating healthier ecosystems and feeding families. Afyalishe even purchases surplus harvests to craft therapeutic products, creating a sustainable economic loop.
Can what’s on your plate protect you from climate stress? Afyalishe thinks so. Nutrition education introduces “food as medicine,” helping families fight malnutrition and prevent lifestyle diseases. By linking wellness to sustainable farming, Afyalishe makes climate adaptation personal and achievable.
Partnering with the Green Thumb Movement (GTM), Afyalishe builds a network of empowered farmers shaping a more resilient future. Together, they amplify impact, championing food security and sustainability.
Dr. Monica Mburu’s leadership proves that climate solutions are human solutions. Her work with Afyalishe bridges the gap between agriculture and wellness, fostering hope for healthier lives and ecosystems.
What role will you play in this movement? Afyalishe and GTM remind us that resilience starts with the soil—and ends with a healthier world.
