REPORTS TO: Systems Coordinator
ORGANIZATION
DESCRIPTION: 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, Uganda, Malawi,
Zambia 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, farm inputs
and solar lights, 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.
We are growing quickly. In ten years,
we have grown to serve over 600,000 farm families with more than 6,000
full-time field staff.
Our approach has won widespread
validation, winning grants from The MasterCard Foundation and Gates Foundation.
