Our impact in East Africa
With some of the fastest-growing economies in the world, East Africa is poised for possibility.
Across East Africa, 200 million people live in poverty as the region faces rapid urbanization and climate challenges. We’re investing in cutting-edge solutions that solve these urgent problems.
Eighty percent of the population relies on agriculture for income, and smallholder farmers face low productivity and income instability. We focus on helping smallholder farmers increase yields and incomes with climate-resilient practices and access to markets.
