myAgro is an award-winning social enterprise committed to empowering small-scale farmers on every level, from self-financing to agricultural training. We are working with 115,000 farmers and counting in Mali & Senegal. myAgro pioneered the use of mobile layaway as a model for savings layaway that can be adopted by other organizations to serve farmers throughout the world.
Smallholder farmers across the globe make up 70% of the world’s poor. Our model has been shown to double farm income and helps farmers move out of poverty. We’ve grown from 240 farmers in 2011 to 115,000 in 2021 and will continue to scale over the next five years while aiming for our North Star of reaching 1 million smallholder farmers by 2026.
We’ve received early recognition for our work by Skoll Foundation, One Acre Fund and Mulago Foundation and received prestigious awards from: Echoing Green Fellowship, Rainer Arnhold Fellows, Draper Richards Kaplan Social Entrepreneurship. Learn more at www.myagro.org
