KAITE contributes to the increased prosperity of Zimbabwe and its people through innovative organic farming and sustainable entrepreneurship with small-scale producers, particularly women. Agricultural production has virtually collapsed in Zimbabwe. Yet, thanks to KAITE, there are now 500 small-scale farmers in the subsistence rural areas harvesting a variety of indigenous plants to produce organic essential oils, herbs and spices. These include wild khaki weed, often considered valueless, but in fact used in the manufacture of many different products, including cosmetics and natural pesticides.
