One Acre Fund is an agricultural service provider that supports Africa's smallholder farmers to build resilient communities.
More than 50 million families in Sub-Saharan Africa earn a living from small farms, which produce 80 percent of the continent’s food. But harvests still lag far behind the rest of the world. We supply the financing and training these farmers need to grow their way out of hunger and build lasting pathways to prosperity.
Instead of giving handouts, we invest in farmers to help them increase their yields and their profits. When farmers become more productive, they help feed healthy communities and create thriving economies.

Improving household incomes through agriculture and small businesses remain our primary income drivers. The income gains are further augmented through the Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs), which help partner households pool savings for necessities and invest in income-generating activities. Better hygiene, sanitation and health reduce income expenditure on healthcare and quality of life, thereby providing higher savings and time availability. The resulting, measurable impact is documented through our data-informed and integrated approach.
