  • Kiambu-County.Pdf
    KIAMBU COUNTY PROFILE THE NEED Though Kiambu County as a whole has generally reported good performance on nutrition indicators, the county is faced with urban versus rural disparities, KENYA with rural areas having poor coverage across all nutrition indicators. For instance, urban Thika and Kiambu Sub-counties, which often serve populations from nearby Nairobi and Machakos Counties, report skilled birth attendance rate of above 100%, while rural Juja and Kabete Sub- counties report coverage of 35.4% and 36%. Stunting in children under five is increasing, rising from 2.3% in 2017 to 3.2% in 2018 and 2.7% in 2019. Iron and folic acid supplementation coverage went from 44.8% in 2017 to 60.1% in 2019. As of October 2020, it sits at 77.2%. In addition, due to the high population, even low percentages result in large absolute numbers, meaning many people are still being left behind. The health priorities that have been set in the Kiambu County Health Strategy and Investment Plan for 2019-2023 focus on reducing morbidity and preventable deaths from infectious and non-communicable diseases, improving the efficiency and quality of services, and adopting healthcare innovation. In this context, Nutrition International is supporting the county in implementing a multi-faceted program focused on improving the nutrition and health outcomes for women, adolescent girls and young children. OUR APPROACH Nutrition International has been working closely with the County Government of Kiambu since 2016 to help improve the nutritional status of its population. KIAMBU COUNTY This requires involvement, leadership and coordination of county officials AT A GLANCE from various sectors including health, education, finance, agriculture, gender and social protection.

  • Kenya Kiambu Muiri Estate - ORGANIC
    Kenya Kiambu Muiri Estate - ORGANIC REGION: Kiambu County, Kenya GROWER: Muiri Estate PROCESSING: Fully washed and dried in raised beds GROWING ALTITUDE: 1537-1550 meters PLANT VARIETIES/CULTIVAR: SL28, SL34, K7, and Ruiru 11 HARVEST PERIOD: October-December | June-August CERTIFICATIONS: Organic KENYA ORGANIC KIAMBU MUIRI ESTATE AB GRAINPRO is sourced from the Muiri Estate located in Kiambu County, Kenya. Muiri Estate has over 443 acres of land with 216 in use for coffee cultivation intercropped with over 200 species of trees totaling more than 90,000, which includes grevillea and eucalyptus trees. Additional land has been set aside and shared with 1,000 local families to cultivate beans. The estate has its own wet-mill where cherry selection, depulping, fermentation, washing, and drying are meticulously executed. When coffee is milled for export, the green beans are sorted by screen size and graded according to size and shape. The beans from the 15/16 screen are labeled AB. Graded as an AB, this coffee mostly falls in the 16 and 17 screens with pretty minimal distribution outside 15-18, quite similar to a Central American European Prep. The moisture is low, and the density is very high, characteristics of coffees grown in Kenya, albeit surprising to find such high density numbers at the slightly lower elevation of Kiambu (compared to Nyeri, e.g.). Coffees cultivated at Muiri include the classics: SLs 28 and 34 are specialty selections were made by Scott Agricultural Laboratories in the 1930s. Scott Labs (SL) were established in a building formerly used as a sanatorium and hospital in the town of Kikuyu in Kiambu county, a stop along the Mombasa railway just northwest of Nairobi.
