Alumni Spotlight Series: Andrew Youn '06 + One Acre Fund
For more information, visit: kell.gg/YounImpact
Co-founded by Andrew Youn ’06, One Acre Fund (OAF) supplies smallholder farmers with the financing and training as a means to grow their way out of hunger and poverty. Instead of giving handouts, OAF provides farmers with financing for farm inputs, improved seeds and fertilizer, agricultural training, and market facilitation to maximize harvest prices. Most importantly, OAF delivers these services within walking distance of the 400,000 farmers served by the organization.
The program has proven impactful. On average, farmers increased their income by 50 percent within the first year of working with OAF. In 2015, nearly all farmers working with OAF repaid their loans in full and on time.

Happy to work in this lovely Organization. I work with OAF in Tanzania
What kind of fertilizer are they using? Where is the fertilizer coming from and who is sponsoring the fertilizer?????
That's wonderful. Peace through elimination of hunger and poverty! Excellent use of your planting string and single seeds. But I am concerned about the use of chemical fertilizer. What do you use? Are you also teaching people to grow sustainably and organically through the use of compost crops, double digging, mulching, hexagonal planting, etc?
I notice they are using loans. I hope they are not sticking these people with too many loans.
