Who We Are
One Acre
Fund is a rapidly growing NGO in Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Malawi, Uganda and
Tanzania that is innovating a new way of helping farm families to achieve their
full potential. Instead of giving handouts, One Acre invests in farmers to
generate a permanent gain in income. Our program is proven impactful – every
year, we weigh thousands of harvests and measure more than 100% average gain in
farm income per acre. In nine years we have grown to serve 305,000 farm
families with more than 3,000 full-time field staff. In three more years, we
will at least quadruple in size, while adding several new countries. To help maintain this
growth, we are looking for an Accounts
Payable Officer to assist in processing payments
for our operating countries.
