Sisters of Carmelite – AITeC Satellite Farm, Nairobi
Projected Completed Date
09/07/2020
As a satellite site of the Don Bosco AITeC Embu Farm, the Sisters of Carmelite project at Mt. Carmel Convent on the northwestern outskirts of Nairobi is bringing innovative agricultural practices to a small-scale, community-based setting. In partnership with Water 4 Mercy, CultivAid, and the Sisters of Carmelite, this initiative is transforming a 0.9-acre farm into a productive and sustainable model of modern agriculture.
The site features greenhouse cultivation, open-field vegetable farming, fruit tree planting, and advanced irrigation systems—all designed to maximize productivity, profitability, and sustainability. This peri-urban farm serves both as a food source for the local market and a training ground for replicating successful techniques in similar environments.
Part of a Broader Vision
As a satellite of the AITeC Embu hub, this site aligns with Water 4 Mercy’s mission to spread knowledge and build Cycles of Success through hands-on education and scalable agricultural innovation. The project reinforces the value of faith-based collaboration, where technology and compassion come together to uplift communities through food security, skills training, and income generation.
