| Illustrative Project: |
The Trust has assisted Saltlick, an organization which works with nomadic pastoralist communities in the dry areas of Northern Kenya. They are engaged in harvesting gum arabic which grows wild, and for which the pastoralists are paid per kilogram by export markets in the UK and other parts of Europe. This assistance helps Saltlick pre-pay these farmers in cash before the gum arabic is marketed. |
