Description
Most
of the world’s poor are farmers, representing the largest and most uniform
group of poor people in the world. One Acre Fund is a growing NGO in Kenya,
Rwanda, Burundi, and Tanzania 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 have laser-like focus on generating
better lives for the people that we serve.
