One Acre Fund provides inputs (seed, fertilizer, financing), provides training on farming techniques, and provides harvest markets to small farmers in Kenya and Rwanda.  This producer group approach has been shown to increase take home farm income by 100%.  In 2009, One Acre Fund experienced explosive growth, expanding from 4000 farm families at the end of 2008 to 16,000 farm families by mid-January, 2010!  The goal of doubling farm profit on every planted acre was again achieved in 2009.  The improving lot of the participating farmers resulted in an increase standard of living as evidenced by a 75% reduction in child deaths, and a growing number of children attending secondary school.  Our $20,000 grants for 2008-2010 are a part of an overall one million dollar effort to implement this new farming model as a new tool in the world's fight against hunger and poverty among the rural poor.   (www.oneacrefund.org)
