Who We Are

One Acre Fund (‘OAF’) is a non-profit social enterprise in east and southern Africa that is innovating a new way of helping farm families to achieve their full potential. Instead of giving hand-outs, One Acre Fund invests in farmers to generate a permanent gain in farm income. We provide farmers with a "market bundle" that includes education,, seed and fertilizer, and market access. Our program is proven impactful – every year, we weigh thousands of harvests and measure 50-100% average gain in farm income per acre. We have laser-like focus on generating better lives for the people that we serve.
