RUIRU, Kenya - The Dharitri Foundation
has announced the launch of its pREWA token staking platform, creating a direct
bridge between the digital-asset community and real-world agricultural projects
in Kenya.
The new platform is a key part of the
foundation's "circularity model." It allows individuals to stake
pREWA tokens to earn rewards, while simultaneously generating funds for
Dharitri's pilot project in Ngarariga, Kiserian, and Ruiru.
This initiative is designed to tackle
the massive $150 billion credit gap that prevents smallholder farmers from
accessing the financial tools they need to combat climate change and food
insecurity.
How it Works:
From Staking to Farming
The model is designed for tangible
impact. When users stake pREWA tokens, they not only earn rewards but also help
capitalize the foundation's on-the-ground operations.
These funds are channeled directly to
farmer services, most notably the 5% loans offered to community groups in the
Kenyan pilot. This capital is essential for farmers to transition to
regenerative agriculture - a nature-based solution that ends reliance on
synthetic fertilizers and protects biodiversity.
"We are not just talking about
change; we are hands-on in the farms," said a spokesperson for Dharitri.
"Every time someone stakes pREWA, they are directly helping fund the
loans, training, and tools that farmers in Kenya need to thrive."
Real-World
Impact in Limuru, Kiserian, and Ruiru
This project directly supports farmers
like Thomas Njoroge from Limuru, who has seen his harvest ruined by drought and
frost. For farmers like him, who rely on a single annual harvest, a "bad
year" can threaten his family's livelihood.
Dharitri's initiative provides a
solution by:
●
Providing Capital: Offering 5% loans so
farmers can invest in their land.
●
Training Farmers: Teaching regenerative
methods like composting, cover cropping, and reduced tilling to build healthy
soil that resists drought.
●
Ensuring Quality: Sourcing high-quality
seedlings from trusted propagators like Plantech Kenya to guarantee a better
harvest.
●
Building Community: Training farmers to
work as a group for better advocacy and support.
A Foundation
for the Future
The staking platform is the first
major step. The foundation’s long-term vision is to build its own blockchain
infrastructure, custom-built to serve the needs of these communities with tools
for identity and fair lending.
"This is about using technology
as a tool for empowerment," the spokesperson added. "We are building
a system where a stake in our platform is a stake in a farmer's future. It's
finance that is regenerative by design."
