THRIVE MAMAH focuses on women & youth entrepreneurship by establishing sustainable income-generating activities.
We promote the production of Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) as a key ingredient in animal feeds - solving the issue of scarcity & high cost of animal feeds for smallholder farmers. BSFL larvae are raised on bio-waste that it upcycles into insect protein which farmers harvest to feed their poultry or fish; or sell to feed manufacturers. The insect excrete & spent substrates – the bi-products of insect rearing are organic fertilizers utilized to increase vegetable yields, an additional income opportunity for farmers.

MAMAH organizes women and youths into farmer cooperatives, strengthening their collective voice and bargaining power while equipping them with agribusiness skills and value addition techniques. This enables them to access better markets, improve their incomes, and achieve economic self-sufficiency.

The MAMAH Thrive Fund provides a vital financial platform that enables women entrepreneurs to access affordable credit, allowing them to expand their businesses and increase their incomes. By offering non-secured loans, at lower interest rates, and with flexible repayment terms, the fund removes financial barriers that often limit women’s economic participation.

Cookery for Business
The program equips women with essential culinary skills, enabling them to establish and sustain profitable food-related businesses. Participants receive hands-on training in preparing a variety of dishes, and confectioneries / baked foods. The program also includes training in business management, and food safety to ensure quality standards. Women are able to set up small restaurants, catering businesses, or home-based food ventures, allowing them to generate income and improve their living conditions.
MAMAH empowers smallholder farmers to cultivate market-oriented food crops using climate-smart agricultural practices. Through a strategic partnership with the East African Seeds Company and Bobo Eco Farm, MAMAH established model Farmer Learning Sites that showcase high-yielding seeds and innovative climate-smart farming techniques. Women groups and entire villages benefit from hands-on training through Farmer Field Business Schools, equipping them with practical knowledge to enhance productivity, profitability and resilience.
