🌿 Firmrock Sanctuary Farm & Stay
A Model of Hope, Food Security, and Sustainable Living in Rural Kenya
🌍 Who We Are
Firmrock Initiative is a grassroots movement from Kitui County, Kenya — a region deeply affected by drought, hunger, and poverty. I’m Noah David, the founder. I grew up in these conditions, where food was scarce, children dropped out of school to survive, and the environment was degraded by desperation.
Firmrock was born to break that cycle — using sustainable farming, local training, and community empowerment to build a different future.
We believe that when people are nourished, trained, and connected, transformation is possible.
🌱 What We’re Building
We’ve already started growing cassava and sweet potatoes on leased land. We’ve also trained over 30 youth and women, and our goal is to train 250 more over the next 1–2 years. Each one will be supported to replicate the model on their own land — at least ½ acre per person — using shared tools and knowledge.
But this is just the beginning.
We are raising support to build Firmrock Sanctuary Farm & Stay — a 10-acre demonstration farm, volunteer hub, and eco-learning space where sustainable agriculture meets social change.
This space will serve as a living classroom, a healing environment, and a rural innovation center.
🎯 Our Vision
To become a vibrant sanctuary of transformation where farming, training, and global exchange intersect to uplift rural communities in arid regions.
🚜 Our Mission
To sustainably feed, train, and connect people through innovative agriculture, value addition, and immersive farm experiences.
🌾 Planned Land Use for 10-Acre Farm
Cassava farming – 2 acres
Sweet potatoes – 2 acres
Watermelon – 1 acre
Chili farming – 0.5 acres
Passion fruit – 2 acres
Mixed vegetables – 1 acre
Admin block, processing unit, poultry/rabbit farm – 1.5 acres
🔑 What Makes This Special
A processing and training hub for youth and women
A volunteer eco-stay space for global guests to farm, live, and learn
Low-waste systems where nothing is discarded — everything is used
A model built to be replicated across other dryland areas
📈 How It Will Unfold – Phases of the Project
Start small (leased land) and train early adopters
Purchase permanent 10-acre site
Fence and prepare the land
Drill borehole and install water systems
Build admin block and basic processing unit
Install drip irrigation and begin full planting
Construct eco-stay cabins for volunteers and guests
Expand training, value addition, and market access for all trainees
Every phase is building momentum toward a self-sustaining system that supports people, food, and the planet.
