OUR PROJECTS
Empowering Farmers Foundation (EFF) is a nonprofit organisation that works to improve the livelihoods of agricultural communities in Sub-Saharan Africa through initiatives in food security and income generation, climate resilience and adaptation, and value addition.
The Foundation partners with small-scale producers to improve their yields and their income. EFF promotes the ‘farming as a business’ concept by providing smallholder farmers with necessary inputs (including high yield variety certified seeds), access to business skills training, climate-smart crop-specific good agricultural practices to enhance their productivity.
EFF has experience with a range of value chains encompassing cash crops like Robusta coffee and sugarcane, vital staples such as finger millet and rice, as well as valuable tree nuts (with an emphasis on cashew), pulses, oilseeds, legumes, and sunflower.
Discover Our COUNTRIES OF OPERATION
Agriculture serves as the backbone of Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and Zambia, playing a pivotal role in their economies and livelihoods. These countries rely heavily on agriculture for food security, employment, and income generation, especially in rural areas where the majority of the population resides. Smallholder farmers constitute a significant portion of the agricultural workforce, highlighting the sector’s importance in poverty alleviation and economic development. Moreover, agriculture contributes significantly to these nations’ export earnings, fostering trade relations and bolstering their international standing. Given its multifaceted impact, investing in agricultural development in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and Zambia is crucial for sustainable growth and improving the well-being of their populations.
