Zellipah Githui, a Kenyan living in St Louis, Missouri and an employee at Monsanto, created a "buzz" in her home village in Kenya when she returned bringing hybrid corn seeds, fertilizer and the services of an agronomist to help improve the lives of women farmers and their families.

By starting small, the GoldFinger Project is growing based on the success in the field -- one woman, one family, one village.

GNA corn is not allowed in Kenya and Monsanto is a greedy company that deigns seeds that could destroy the soil in one's farm so that only their seed can grow and one would be trapped to use only their fertilizers and other farm products.
