More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

In Bungoma, Kenya, MWB partner One Acre Fund’s goal is to eradicate the chronic hunger problem in Africa by providing an investment package that enables farm families to grow their way out of hunger, permanently. Instead of giving handouts, One Acre Fund provides farmers with the education, farm inputs and market access necessary to become self-sustaining and never go hungry again.

Activities

Annabel's main project is to develop and implement a local staff recruitment and selection process as well as revise the existing orientation/training curriculum and performance management systems that the organization already has in place.

Funding Information

Total Funding Received to Date: $265
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $3,935

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

If training of OAF's field officers with the MBA's selection, hiring and training process goes well, it should be able to replicated in other areas and work towards OAF's milestone of reaching 30,000 families in the next 3 years!

Project Message

It’s very exciting to create these tools and then see them in action the very next week. After it’s been implemented, we review, gather feedback, and make any necessary changes.

Project Closure

By John Ko - Executive Vice President, November 12, 2008 06:19 PM

Although, we weren't able to raise the full amount through Global Giving, we're happy to report that this project was completed successfully in early part of 2008. Annabel did fantastic work to create a "training manual" that was used to start a another farmer education project in Rwanda for One Acre Fund. For more information on One Acre Fund, please visit www.oneacrefund.org
