Inakua was founded by a group of Penn State University Students in 2018. We have all traveled to Kenya in order to learn about the hardships facing Kenyans first hand for Kisumu residents. We have used what we have learned from local Kenyans to develop our buisness model in order to bring Hydroponics to the people who will benfit the most from it.
Our main goal is to enable people to have a reliable source of food that they can rely on. We truely belive that lowering the usual capital costs associated with Hydroponics can combat erratic weather and rising food prices.
