Community & Training
The Dala Method
A 12-month farmer training and production cycle that transforms smallholder women into certified, tech-enabled agricultural entrepreneurs.
Onboarding & Chama Formation
Women are recruited through demonstration farm visits and community Chama groups. Agreements are formalized and digital farmer profiles are created in the FMS.
Bio-Feed Training & Coop Setup
Farmers receive Dala proprietary bio-feed and hands-on training in coop construction and biosecurity protocols.
First Production Cycle
500 birds per farmer cohort are raised under FMS monitoring, with weekly data check-ins and veterinary support from the Demo Hub.
Aggregation & First Sale
Produce is aggregated under the Dala brand, QR-tagged, and sold to B2B buyers at a 15% premium above informal market prices.
Digital Credit Scoring
FMS data generates each farmer's digital credit profile, enabling access to micro-finance and input credit for the next cycle.
Graduation & Scale-Up
Graduating farmers become mentors, onboarding the next cohort. Top performers are considered for Hub Coordinator roles.

Where Financial Independence Meets Health Agency
Quinter Achieng is a Registered Nurse and co-founder of Dala Poultry. Drawing on her healthcare training and deep community roots, she designed the Dala Method to address more than just agricultural productivity.
Quinter integrates reproductive health education and financial literacy into every phase of the training programme -- because the same women who lack access to markets also lack access to healthcare decisions. The Dala Method recognizes that economic empowerment and health agency are inseparable.
“We don't just train farmers. We build women who own their futures.”
