1. ABOUT BOMA
BOMA is a non-profit organization founded in 2006, with a vision to end extreme poverty in Africa’s drylands. We are driven by our mission to provide the people and governments of Africa Drylands with adapted economic inclusion programs that significantly reduce extreme poverty rates and enhance their ability to withstand multiple crises. This is achieved through the BOMA context-adaptive Rural Entrepreneur Access Project (REAP) graduation model designed to economically empower women, youth and refugees by equipping them with the skills, resources and linkages necessary to achieve sustainable livelihoods.
To date, BOMA has transformed the lives of over 1 million women, youth and refugees, focusing on last-mile communities most vulnerable to climate change and systemic shocks. By leveraging a tech-enabled, data-driven, and participant-centered approach, BOMA ensures measurable, scalable, and lasting impact.

2. Project Overview
BOMA is implementing a 5-year project, “Creating Shared Value with Young People in the Livestock Sector (CASHA) Project,” designed to transform the livelihoods of 300,000 youth and women across 15 Arid and Semi-Arid Land (ASAL) counties by unlocking opportunities in livestock and agri-related value chains. The project will enhance the competitiveness and inclusivity of these sectors by equipping young women and men with relevant skills, knowledge, and capacities to access dignified employment, establish sustainable enterprises, and participate meaningfully in value chains. Through strengthened market linkages, improved access to finance and investment opportunities, promotion of gender equity, and adoption of climate-smart livestock practices, the program seeks to foster resilient livelihoods while contributing to inclusive economic growth.
The 15 target counties are organized into four clusters: North Eastern Cluster (Mandera, Garissa, Wajir, Tana River, Kitui); Upper Eastern Cluster (Isiolo, Marsabit, Samburu, Laikipia); Lower Eastern Cluster (Kajiado, Makueni, Taita Taveta); and North Rift Cluster (Turkana, West Pokot, Baringo). Within these geographies, CASHA will address systemic challenges such as gender inequality, limited financial inclusion, weak market access, and climate vulnerability. The project will leverage a Challenge Fund, strategic capacity building, and innovative partnerships to ensure that youth and women are empowered as key drivers of transformation in livestock and agri-related systems.
