Project Report | Apr 21, 2021
Let's KickSTART!

By Sarah Nielsen | Impact Manager

That's a wrap! Because of you, after 6 months of learning, we have our first graduates from the Farmers of the Future training program for 2021 in South Africa.

6 months ago the team started with the principles of agroecology and last month they finished with a business building exercise. The past few weeks they have been busy charging through the business planning phase which allows them to share ideas, collaborate, and essentially plan for success.

Last week the first round of kickstart loan proposals were submitted!

We are excited about the hard work our participants have put in, and where this will lead! We have a proposal for a Chilli Sauce business, a market access business, an organic compost supplier, and one hydroponics business.

Kickstart loans help our graduates take a step towards disrupting the cycle of poverty.

Fund a farmer and their future by contributing towards their kickstart loan!
