About the foundation

After the owners of Mlango Farm opened their home and farm to visitors, enthusiastic response and conversations over the years inspired to seek out ways for all children and youth of Nairobi to have access and opportunity to visit and learn about farm life, nature and environmental issues. Many children and youth living in the city don’t often get the chance to enjoy nature, to take a walk on a farm, see how vegetables are grown, and to learn through experience about farm animals and the care of the environment. To facilitate these kinds of opportunities and experiences for children and adults, Mlango Farm Foundation (MFF) was established to develop and coordinate educational programs and eventually build an Educational Centre to host groups promoting green initiatives and learning.

The Foundation creates jobs, empowers women and gives new experiences and a vision and hope for a greener, healthier and more sustainable future. 

The Mlango Farm Foundation works with a detailed strategic plan to realize our mission. See here a summary of the Strategic plan 2024-2026 for the Mlango Farm Foundation. The detailed plan is available upon request.

The Mlango Farm Foundation was registered at the NGO Coordination Board in Kenya in March 2015, under nr OP.218/051/15-031/9877.

Cooperation Stichting Mlango Farm

In 2023 an NGO in The Netherlands was established. This Stichting Mlango Farm is a non-profit organization committed to educational projects in the field of food production, sustainability and the environment for children and young people in Kenya. In collaboration with the Kenyan Mlango Farm Foundation, they encourage children and young people to think about their future, care for their environment and food supply.

The MFF Support group

We have a diverse, enthusiastic and resourceful group of supporters – all with different professional backgrounds but the same enthusiasm for the work with MFF. The MFF support group advises the board and management of the foundation with all kinds of practical advice. Bi-annually, this dynamic group comes together at the farm for brainstorm sessions that help outline future activities and direction of MFF.
