Is sponsoring a farmer a donation or an investment?
Sponsoring a farmer through Maputo Bridge Capital is a gift, not an investment — you will not receive financial returns. When the farmer sells their harvest, they repay into a Community Fund that sponsors the next farmer.
92% goes to the farmer's local seed shop. 8% covers verification and field visits. Gifts are not tax-deductible and are not investments.
Sponsor a FarmerWhat sponsoring a farmer is
Sponsoring a farmer is a gift. You fund a farmer's season — seeds, fertilizer, and tools — and the money goes directly to their local seed shop. You receive the receipt, field photos, and a harvest update.
After harvest, the farmer repays into a Community Fund — not to you. That fund sponsors the next farmer. Your gift doesn't end after one season; it keeps working, season after season, helping more farmers grow more food.

- ✕ It is not an investment — you will not receive financial returns or interest.
