BOMA is recognized for developing an innovative, gender-focused poverty graduation model for the extreme-poor women in the arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs), the Rural Entrepreneur Access Project (REAP). This long-term program offers a highly sequenced, layered and time bound set of interventions that help the poorest and most vulnerable women gain financial literacy, receive one to two years of mentoring in businesses and life skills, and through a conditional cash grant provided by BOMA, start small businesses to earn an income and establish savings groups, and build their resilience to shocks and strengthen social capital. Standard REAP/REAP for Women’s Economic Empowerment is BOMA’s flagship model and has tremendous potential to scale up across Kenya and beyond in all of ASAL countries in which BOMA is operating.

In the face of ever-increasing climate crises, BOMA has also developed a climate-oriented adaptation of its REAP model – called Green REAP – to support climate resilience, starting with people in the forested areas of Northern Kenya and Southern Ethiopia. Based on learning and early results, Green REAP has tremendous potential to scale up across Kenya and beyond in all of ASAL countries in which BOMA is operating.
