"Empowering smallholder farmers with financing and training to end hunger and poverty."
One Acre Fund is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to empowering smallholder farmers across East Africa through asset-based financing and comprehensive agricultural training, with the mission of alleviating hunger and poverty. Based in Burma, Kenya, the organization collaborates with farmers in rural communities throughout Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, and, most recently, Malawi.
Employing a market-driven methodology, One Acre Fund streamlines operations and transactions across multiple stages of the agricultural value chain, encompassing seed procurement and market facilitation. In 2013, farmers partnering with One Acre Fund achieved a remarkable 180% return on investment, alongside substantial increases in farm income per planted acre.
