Project Info
Project Description
Foodies Without Borders empowers marginalized youth, girls, and women in rural Kenya through culinary training and sustainable farming. We partner with local communities to build fully equipped communal kitchens, facilitate pop-up culinary schools, provide restaurant consulting, and operate organic permaculture farms that offer hands-on food education.
NEW KITCHEN PROJECT
Community Kitchen Outreach:
We are launching an unprecedented outreach effort to support women and girls in rural communities. By collaborating in interactive workshops, we strategize on enhancing home cooking and developing new food-based businesses.
- Communal Kitchens: We are partnering with two local communities to build our first fully equipped outdoor communal kitchens in Kajiado and Nairobi.
- Empowerment Spaces: These kitchens serve as safe, inviting spaces where women can access modern equipment and learn from skilled staff as they embark on culinary careers.
Culinary Workshops:
Foodies Without Borders facilitates pop-up culinary schools and workshops across Kenya, teaching foundational skills and boosting the confidence of young men and women interested in the food industry.
- Sponsorship: We encourage supporters to sponsor individual students or entire workshops.
- Collaboration: Please Contact Us if you have innovative ideas, culinary experience, donations, or workshop pledges to offer.

Permaculinary:
Combining “Permaculture” and “Culinary,” this initiative highlights sustainable farming and local food systems.
- Organic Farms: We are underway in developing two new farms dedicated to organic produce and we are inviting volunteers/supporters/donors to partner with us to establish a sustainable test & commercial kitchen at our Kajiado farm and campground.
- Biodiversity: Our farms will cultivate both indigenous and exotic organic species that thrive naturally in the region.
- Visits & Education: Our farms will be open to groups, individuals, institutions, universities, and foodies eager to learn. Discover more about our mission on the Foodies Without Borders website.
