One Acre Fund

Unverified non-profit organisation

One Acre Fund is a nonprofit organisation started in January 2006 with the goal of completely rethinking how to solve the chronic hunger problem in Africa.

The organisation believes that food aid is at best a temporary solution, and instead has put together a permanent investment package for farmers and their families which doubles farm income by providing seeds and fertilizer, weekly farm education, and market access.

The Fund has expanded to serve 22,000 families in 6 districts in Kenya and Rwanda.
