The European Union has donated Sh12.3 million towards the production and sustenance of an Aloe Vera project in Baringo to boost rural livelihoods.

The funding would improve the production of the Aloe plant and its products for local use and export in a bid to reduce poverty in the district. Aloe Vera is used in beauty, health, skin care and medicine.

The EU's Community Development Trust Fund programme manager Joseph Ruhiu presented the money to Koriema Aloe project, which includes putting up a factory.
