The BOMA Project is a U.S. nonprofit and Kenyan NGO that implements a two-year poverty graduation program in Northern Kenya. BOMA’s Rural Entrepreneur Access Project (REAP) builds the resiliency of women living in extreme poverty, so they can survive shocks, including drought, and adapt to a changing climate. Through a sequence of interventions, REAP helps women—the poorest and most vulnerable—to start small businesses in their rural communities. With a sustainable income, increased assets, and committed savings, women can feed their children, pay for school fees and medical care, and invest in their families for long-term stability. As of September 2014, BOMA has established 2,301 sustainable businesses and 315 savings groups across a region the size of Ireland, changing the lives of 7,431 women and more than 37,000 children. Our goal is to scale our program across the African drylands and change the lives of 100,000 women and children by 2018.
