This article brought to attention an important intersection between nonprofit advocacy and land ownership rights, a glaring issue that greatly affects Black and Indigenous communities in rural areas. The organizations looking to support positive outcomes in this field do so by providing resources to those who need them for direct material support and also broader community empowerment. Black Farmer Fund, for example, was a $1 million pilot fund that attracted over fifty applications and following that process later invested in eight farm and food businesses. These funds are irreplaceable tools that need to be further expanded upon and supported to help out the communities who need their support the most. #Finance #Nonprofit #Leadership #Justice

🌍 Last week in Kwanda ... 🚀 We had 30 new villagers join us at Kwanda. We're growing at a fast clip! 🇰🇪 The village passed its first vote of 2024, voting to release £1,400 in funding to develop a vertical garden prototype and build 20 vertical gardens in Wamunyu, Kenya. 💪🏿 Faith Angwet joined the Kwanda team as a volunteer to help with our marketing efforts. 🇳🇬 We had scouts in Nigeria explore potential projects and innovators that align with our mission here at Kwanda. 👷🏿 We started building a 'Jobs to be done' database we plan to share with future volunteers so they get a clear picture of the gaps we need to fill. 📈 We plotted our villagers' demographic data, which led to some interesting insights: 65% of our villagers are women, and 35% are men. Villagers typically work in non-profit or technology. ... Here's to another great week. kwanda.co
