    Making Agriculture aWeapon of Mass Construction.*

    Farming is the predominant activity in Africa,so its the logical place to start raising incomes.Many of our projects help small rural farmersincrease the yields, economic and nutritionalvalue of what they grow and connect to local

    markets. The result: increased income, reducedhunger and improved nutrition. A win-win for all.
