Farm Africa is an international charity working to build a resilient rural Africa where people and the environment thrive. They help farmers increase their harvests, build their incomes, and sustain natural resources, partnering with governments and the private sector to fight poverty.

Farm Africa

Farm Africa helps African farmers grow themselves out of poverty.

Our local staff provide the tools and expertise to enable smallholders in eastern Africa to increase their harvests, whether they farm crops, livestock, fish or the forest. We train farmers to be more commercial, adding value to harvest surpluses by milling, drying, or turning their produce into products that fetch a higher price.

Their situations may vary, but all of the farmers we work with are vulnerable to increasing economic and environmental challenges. With our help, they become more resilient to these challenges. They are able to grow more food to feed their families and bring in a reliable income. 

With our help, rural families are building a more prosperous life that allows them to take charge of their futures, for good.

Farm Africa has over 170 staff operating across the east African countries of Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

Interested in working for us? Keep an eye on the jobs page of our website for all UK-based opportunities: www.farmafrica.org/jobs

Posts in our African offices are recruited in-country and advertised in national papers and on ReliefWeb: www.reliefweb.int

We are so proud that the Waitrose & Partners Foundation and Farm Africa won the award for 'Food & Beverage Charity Partnership of the Year' at the annual Third Sector #BusinessCharityAwards. The awards, which were held at the London Marriott Grosvenor Square last week, celebrated and recognised outstanding partnerships of businesses and charities. 

Together, the Waitrose Foundation and Farm Africa work to improve the livelihoods of vegetable and flower farmers and workers on 23 farms in the Waitrose supply chain in Kenya and Tanzania. Big congrats to all the other winners!

Jack was no fool. There’s a magic bean of
truth in that fairy tale.

Crops need nitrogen to grow, and most source it from
the soil they’re growing in, depleting the supply over
time.

Not beans! With a little help from some friendly
bacteria, beans are able to magic nitrogen right out of
the air ✨. They do it so efficiently that they don’t just
grow vigourously themselves🌱, they release a
surplus into the soil, much to the delight of the other
plants they share their fields with 😍 and the farmer
who looks after them all 💰👏💰

and how they’re transforming the future of sustainable
agriculture here:
