One Acre Fund provides inputs (seed, fertilizer, financing), provides training on farming techniques, and provides harvest markets to small farmers in Kenya and Rwanda. This producer group approach has been shown to increase take home farm income by 100%. Currently serving 4000 farm families (including 16,000 children), it plans to be serving 30,000 farm families by the end of 2010. The $20,000 grants from the AllPeopleBeHappy foundation for 2008-2010 are a part of an overall one million dollar effort to implement this program model as a new tool in the world's fight against hunger and poverty among the rural poor.
