About the organisation
Help Self Help Centre is a National development Agency registered in Kenya (1993). Its mission is to work with smallholder farmers and other stakeholders in eradicating poverty and environmental degradation through fostering sustainable management of natural resources. In this regard, HSHC promotes planting of native trees and shrubs with commercial value for the local people. The organisation has plans to promote a nature positive approach by harnessing the regenerative potential of native trees-based system, which is good for conservation of natural species including wildlife. It seeks to involve the local communities in planting and protecting the trees, and in commercial activities, i.e. planting shrubs for extraction of essential oils.
