Mission Statement
Our mission is harvesting unrealized agricultural potential to help African communities thrive.
About This Cause
Almost 250 million people in Africa are food insecure (FAO). This is in spite of the fact that Africa has 2/3 of the world's unused arable land. A lack of mechanization is one big factor. The majority of African farmers still do all tillage by hand, with a lucky few having access to mule-drawn plows. A typical family can only farm 2-5 acres this way, and with much lower yields than farmers in developed countries. We provide agricultural equipment and technology to African farming communities to increase productivity and standards of living. We send container shipments of used farm equipment, each shipment includes one tractor and several farm implements. With each shipment we till approx 300 acres of land and impact 30 farm families annually. Tractor tillage allowed these farmers to plant on time and increase yields by breaking up soil compaction.
