Summary

One Acre Fund supplies small family farmers with the supplies and training they need to grow more food. How much more? On average, the farmers we serve harvest 50 percent more food after working with us. That means higher profits, better lives, more resilient communities, and a healthier planet. With your help, more farmers will grow their way out of hunger and build lasting pathways to prosperity.

Challenge

For smallholder farmers dependent on the rain and a small plot of land to grow their livelihoods, a little support goes a long way. Access to the right seeds, tools, and training helps farmers maximise their harvests. Higher yields mean more produce to sell, which means a higher income. That means more money in farmers' pockets - money that they can invest back into their land, children, and communities.

Solution

Founded in 2006, One Acre Fund models a new solution for Africa's smallholder farmers. Through a complete bundle of services - which includes financing and last-mile delivery of farming supplies; training; and post-harvest support - we enable farmers to significantly increase their crop yields and build permanent pathways to prosperity.

Long-Term Impact

It's not only farmers and their communities that benefit from your donation. With your support, farmers are able to grow more food for the global market, contributing to global food security. Farmers are also able to invest their profits into protecting the planet for future generations. By employing sustainable farming techniques, planting trees, and boosting the health of their soils, farmers can ensure that their families can grow healthy crops for years to come.
