One Acre Fund

One Acre Fund is an agricultural service provider that supports Africa's smallholder farmers to build resilient communities. Founded in 2006, this social enterprise operates across several countries in East Africa, including Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, Nigeria, and Ethiopia. The organization provides a comprehensive package of services designed to meet the diverse needs of smallholder farmers, which includes access to quality seeds, fertilizers, training in best agricultural practices, and loan financing.

By offering these services, One Acre Fund empowers farmers to increase their productivity and income, thereby improving food security in vulnerable communities. The approach of investing in farmers rather than giving direct aid fosters self-sufficiency and encourages sustainable agricultural practices. As of 2022, One Acre Fund serves over 4 million farm families, supporting them to achieve significant improvements in crop yields and overall livelihoods. Additionally, the organization promotes agroforestry and other sustainable practices that enhance environmental stewardship, which is critical in the face of climate change. With a vision of a world where all farmers have big harvests, healthy families, and rich soil, One Acre Fund continues to expand its reach and impact in rural communities.
