Claudine’s Journey: from smallholder farmer to community change maker 🌍✨ Through affordable financing and training, we help farmers overcome barriers to prosperity. Our tree program improves soil health, prevents erosion, and creates long-term income opportunities. It benefits farmers while providing extra revenue for tree out-growers like Claudine, a Rwandan farmer who used her earnings to bring water to her home and expand her tea farm. With the support of the IKEA Foundation, we’re expanding our impact—going beyond yields and SROI to a holistic approach that uplifts farmers economically and socially. 🌱 Head to our website to learn more about our tree program: https://lnkd.in/dpRBW3Kt
