In our mission to empower smallholder farmers across Africa, we're excited to share an exciting journey we embarked upon some months ago. Partnership with Heifer International under the AYuTe Africa initiative, we're revolutionising the agriculture sector as we enable financial inclusion access for 125,000 smallholder farmers across 8 northern Nigerian states. In this documentary, our Co-founder, Ayodeji Arikawe, along with key stakeholders from Heifer International, Lekan Tobe, Ph.D., Country Director and Tajuddeen Abubakar, Access to Finance Manager, Heifer Nigeria as well as Busayo Onome-Oyetunji of Crust Microfinance Bank, our implementing partner, discuss how we are breaking barriers to financial access by opening bank accounts, issuing debit cards, and deploying POS operators in rural communities. With this project we've been able to give underserved farmers access to the resources they need to boost productivity, access the right financial support, and thrive economically. As part of the success of this initiative, our commitment to gender inclusion means 40% of beneficiaries are women, further driving equitable growth. Watch full documentary now on YouTube to see how we are building Africa’s largest network of profitable farmers, enabling financial solutions and ensuring long-term food security.
