Maputo Bridge Capital
Connecting sponsors to Mozambican smallholder farmers.
Sponsors pay local seed shops directly. Farmers repay into a Community Fund that sponsors the next farmer.
Fact Sheet
How the Model Works
1. Sponsor pays
A sponsor funds a farmer's season. 92% goes straight to the farmer's local seed and fertilizer shop. 8% covers verification and field visits.
2. Farmer grows
The farmer collects seeds and inputs from the agro-dealer, plants, and grows their crop through the season.
3. Community Fund
When the harvest is sold, the farmer repays into the Community Fund — which sponsors the next farmer. The cycle continues.

Founder, Maputo Bridge Capital
Anselmo Boaventura founded Maputo Bridge Capital in 2024 to connect sponsors directly to Mozambican smallholder farmers. Based in Fort Worth, Texas, he works with the COJAZ cooperative in Zambézia Province. His model is simple: sponsors pay local seed shops directly, and when farmers sell their harvest, they repay into a Community Fund that sponsors the next farmer — creating a sustainable cycle of agricultural empowerment.
