We Create Pathways to Prosperity
By investing in women’s farming cooperatives throughout Zambia, we’re laying the groundwork for a brighter tomorrow.
Creating a Better Tomorrow, Today
The Harvest Fund is dedicated to alleviating extreme poverty in Zambia by bettering the lives of marginalized female farmers throughout the country. By helping them acquire equipment, technology, and financial resources today, we put them on the path for a more prosperous tomorrow.
Invest in Women & Communities Thrive
Studies have shown that women are not only more likely to reinvest their income back into their families and community, but they do so on a much greater scale than their male counterparts. Given that women produce roughly 60% of the food in Africa, the Harvest Fund realized, early on, that when we assist in the efforts of Zambia’s women farmers, not only do we support gender parity, but we help entire communities thrive.
Storage & Elimination of Food Loss
We introduce airtight storage solutions to our farmers and teach them correct storage solutions, so that food is never lost due to spoilage or pests.
Solar Power
We help our farmers gain access to water pumps powered by renewable energy so that they can become resilient in the face of drought.
Healthy Soil
We restore over-exploited soil by treating it with carefully selected nutrients that stabilize greenhouse gas emissions while increasing production.
Reinvestment
Profit shares from produce sold at market are reinvested back into the Harvest Fund, allowing us to expand our impact, year after year.
