Most
of the world’s poor are farmers, representing the largest and most uniform
group of people in the world. One Acre Fund is a growing NGO in Kenya, Rwanda,
Burundi, Tanzania, Uganda and Malawi that is innovating a new way of helping
farm families to achieve their full potential. Instead of giving handouts, One
Acre Fund invests in farmers to generate a permanent gain in farm
income. We provide farmers with a “market bundle” that includes education,
finance, seed and fertilizer, and market access. Our program is proven
impactful – every year, we weigh thousands of harvests and measure 50-100%
average gain in farm income per acre. We are growing quickly. In ten years, we
have grown to serve 250,000 farm families with more than 2,000 full-time field
staff, and we will triple again in the coming three years. Our approach has won
widespread validation, including grants from The MasterCard Foundation and
Gates Foundation. Website: www.oneacrefund.org.

We
launched our pilot in Malawi in late 2013, and now serve over 2,600 farm
families through our input loan program here. Separately, we are in partnership
with the Ministry of Agriculture to boost smallholder adoption of improved
inputs and agricultural practices. Our national HQ is in Zomba. As we grow our
operations across the country in the coming years, we expect to open additional
regional offices.
