Ripple Effect
Rural Africa is rich with opportunity: with resourceful communities, and land from which food and futures can grow 🌱 But families face poverty that is extreme, cruel, and worst of all – unnecessary. The knowledge and skills needed for farmers to grow more and sell more is often lost. And now the climate crisis is threatening to push millions of people back into extreme poverty. We’re creating a wave of change in rural Africa. It starts when we bring farmers together with community trainers and experienced peer farmers to share ideas and learn new skills. The focus is on practical approaches that help them grow more and sell more, so they can invest in their farms’ and families’ futures. But we don’t stop there. The effect grows, because for every family we work with, 3 more families benefit too. Farmers share what they learn with their neighbours and communities. Then those farmers do the same. Soon thousands, then hundreds of thousands, experience the benefits, in communities where everyone is included, and everyone thrives. It’s efficient, effective and builds a momentum that spreads far beyond our programmes. Ripple Effect currently works in six African countries: Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and Zambia. Our operations are carbon positive. In partnership with WECIL, we are committed to becoming a Disability Confident Employer.
