poor people in the world. One Acre Fund is a growing NGO in Kenya, Rwanda,

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.
