Whatever happened to the Kenyan farmer who turned a dump into a garden of giveaways?

In July 2020 NPR highlighted the work of Victor Edalia of Kenya, who turned a trash dump into an urban farm in Kibera, one of the world’s largest slums, on the outskirts of Nairobi.

But during the pandemic, he began supplying free produce to struggling families. We returned to the former dump to find out what’s cropping up for the new farmer.
