About One Acre Fund:
One Acre Fund is Africa's largest social enterprise improving yields, profits, and resilience of 5.5 million smallholder farmers across 10 countries. They have a 2030 vision of reaching 10 million farmers annually, delivering $1B in farmer impact annually, and planting 1 billion trees between 2019-2030.
They operate a full-service model (farm inputs on credit, last mile delivery, training, and market facilitation) that enables extreme- and ultra-poor farm families to boost their incomes by 40%+ at a social return on investment of 5+ (meaning, generating $5+ in new farmer income for every donor $1 received).
