Kenya, a country five times the size of Ohio, is located in Eastern Africa and is bordered by Somalia, Tanzania, Uganda, and the Indian Ocean. Known for being one of the most successful agricultural regions in Africa, Kenya has allocated over 41 percent of their land for agricultural uses. This focus on agriculture has led to recent economic growth, that coupled with a stable democratic government, has lifted millions of Kenyan citizens from extreme poverty. However, despite this recent economic growth, many regions of the country still lack the resources needed to improve overall welfare.
