Sustainable Community Development

Our unique community development programme is designed to equip entire communities with the skills, resources and infrastructure to create long-term, sustained change. 

The impact is huge: after three years, our farmers and their families at least double their crop yield, have access to clean water, can send their children to school, and can afford to save.
