Sponsor a farmer in Africa
Sponsor one farmer in Africa, by name, and see the receipt.
Most ways to help African farmers ask you to trust a big fund. Here you choose one smallholder farmer in Mozambique, pay their local seed shop from $25, and follow the season to harvest.
- Over 80% of Mozambicans farm, mostly on small plots with little seed or fertilizer.
- A season of seed, fertilizer and tools for one farmer costs about $150; $25 already buys seed.
- Mozambique plants with the rains in November and December: a gift now is in the ground this season.
