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.
