We work to end hunger and poverty in partnership with local communities. Our programs support entrepreneurs around the world, creating lasting change from the ground up.It begins with a seed investment of livestock or agriculture, followed by mentorship to help project participants build a business, and ultimately to gain access to supply chains and markets.These families are able to earn a living income and continuously lift up their communities as they train the next generation of leaders.By supporting and training the world's farmers, ranchers, and female business owners, we're investing in a new breed of success.
