What is it like working for Ripple Effect?
Isaac, Ripple Effect Kenya’s Farm Systems Coordinator, started his journey with Ripple Effect when his family joined a project back in 2001. Today, Isaac helps families in rural Kenya to overcome hunger and poverty too, just like his family did.

“After several years working for farming businesses, I came across the opportunity to work for Ripple Effect. I couldn’t apply fast enough. Having acquired a lot of knowledge and skills from working in the farming industry, I knew I had the passion to return to western Kenya to help families in my local community to change their lives.”
