Meet Nick Nick (who you see in the video) had over a third of his farm lying idle because he could not afford the inputs he needed to farm fully. This kept him trapped in a cycle of poverty, limiting his income and the opportunities for his family and children, his next generation. The Struggle Is Real Kenya has 7.5 million smallholder farmers like Nick. More than 70 percent of them cannot access the financing they need. This limits their ability to buy seeds and other essential farm inputs, making it hard to increase production or boost income. This is despite the fact that Kenya imports over 45 percent of the food it consumes every year, much of its arable land sits unused, and agriculture provides over 70 percent of jobs in the country. Enter Grofunder Africa! Grofunder wants to change that. Through our peer to peer lending platform, Grofunder lets ordinary people from around the world earn up to 12% returns by investing directly in smallholder farmers like Nick. These investments unlock farmers access to inputs, equipment, agronomy support, and market access after harvest. The result is simple, farmers grow more, earn more, and put food on their tables (and ours🤗). Support That Works We use data from their farms combined with social insights to create an AI powered credit rating model that guides lending decisions. This ensures farmers receive loans they can manage while investors get better outcomes, making the system sustainable for everyone. Hope in Action When farmers grow more, families thrive, and communities become stronger. Be the change you want to see. Help farmers increase production while generating income for yourself!
