Languages: English and Kinyarwanda
Deadline: 11th May 2016
Organization Description
More than 70% of the world’s poor are smallholder farmers, representing the largest and most uniform group of poor people in the world. Serving farmers in many countries in Africa and beyond, One Acre Fund (known as TUBURA in Rwanda) is a growing social enterprise 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 complete “service bundle” that includes financing for seed and fertilizer, delivery, training, and market facilitation to maximize profits from harvest sales. Our program is proven impactful: on average, farmers working with One Acre Fund realize a 50%+ increase in crop yields in a single season, giving them a surplus harvest they can sell to make other investments. We measure success in our ability to make farmers more prosperous and we have laser-like focus on generating better lives for the people that we serve. During over eight years in Rwanda, we have grown to serve more than 100,000 farm families with over 1,400 full-time staff. We are Rwanda’s fastest growing professional
