Wakulima USA

Cultivating thriving, self-sustaining communities where immigrants and people of color have equitable access to land, economic opportunity, and culturally grounded wellness.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Wakulima USA is a community-driven organization dedicated to providing farmers with access to farmland, technical support, and connections to local markets strengthening food sovereignty and creating economic opportunities for low-income immigrants and people of color in the Puget Sound region.

“Wakulima” means “Farmers” in Kiswahili, the most widely spoken language in East and Central Africa. Our organization empowers individuals to combine their traditional foodways with modern farming techniques and food innovation strategies to build successful businesses centered on healthy, sustainable, local farming and food production.

We also support community wellness through culturally relevant mental health and care coordination services. By helping individuals navigate essential resources and access trusted providers, we promote holistic well-being and strengthen the resilience of the communities we serve.
