Organization Description
One Acre Fund is an agricultural NGO that is
innovating a new way of helping farm families to achieve their full potential.
In more than five years in Rwanda, we have grown to serve 100,000 farm families
with more than 1,000 full-time field staff. 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 only serve farmers,
and we always put Farmers First.
