SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT

Kicip was registered as a community based organization in 2001.Since then it has been known for sustainable agriculture  work among farmers and people living with HIV/AIDS in Emuhaya District. In 1990, a survey was carried out in Iboona and Ebutanyi sub-locations that revealed 3 main health related issues.

Contaminated water was causing recurrent diarrhea especially among children.

Food insecurity and low incomes was leading to malnutrition especially in children under five years.

The first indications of HIV in the District.

Therefore the then Kima community based health care established projects in water and sanitation, organic agriculture, and  HIV/AIDS awareness.

Currently Kicip has a demonstration land within its premises. It has maintained its focus on building the capacity of communities to manage their own health issues in integrated way thro sustainable agriculture, HIV/AIDS, and water and sanitation programmes.
