With a mission to end hunger and poverty through sustainable agricultural development, One Acre Fund is a nonprofit social enterprise dedicated to improving the lives of smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. The organization provides farmers with access to high-quality seeds, fertilizer, agricultural training, and financial services to increase their yields and incomes. By operating a market-based approach, One Acre Fund ensures that farmers receive inputs on credit, with repayment structured around their harvest cycles.
The organization works across several countries, including Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia, directly serving over one million farmers annually. Their programs have led to significant increases in farm productivity, helping farmers grow more food, improve food security, and lift their families out of poverty. One Acre Fund prioritizes data-driven decision-making, regularly assessing impact and refining strategies to enhance farmer success.
