Testimonial Paul Murimi van Purulia farmers, Kenya

“ Please make NGO’s see that we need market access and that in Kenya we are exclosed from markets because of cartels and big buyers who pay poor prices for our products so our farmers are in tears.

Thank you GET Foundation we are now in contact with new buyers, thank you so much, please keep on doing your sweet work”
