Join our incredible team of change-makers, farmers and data ninjas!

Thanks, The Audacious Project for highlighting the importance of supporting women in agriculture. myAgro's mobile layaway model continues to enable women smallholder farmers a way to save in small increments toward the purchase of high-quality inputs, climate-smart agricultural training, and local delivery. As a result, they are better prepared to manage climate shocks, and they have larger harvests and earn more income. We continue to design our program with and for women farmers!

To celebrate #GivingTuesday, we are excited to share an opportunity for you to DOUBLE your support for women smallholder farmers today! A generous donor is matching gifts dollar for dollar, allowing you to help more farmers achieve food security for themselves and their families. Through our mobile layaway platform, myAgro helps farmers in West Africa increase their harvests and income to achieve food security and to move out of poverty. Recognizing that women farmers face unique challenges such as limited access to land, we recently introduced a poultry package in Senegal. Poultry enables women farmers to increase food security and nutrition for themselves and their families since myAgro’s chicken breed is a high producer of both meat and eggs. It also diversifies their income as eggs and chickens can be sold year-round. Will you help us support even more farmers like Amy by taking advantage of this valuable matching gift opportunity? https://lnkd.in/g9EN_9VJ

myAgro is a Dandelion because every issue is a climate issue. If we don't solve the climate crisis, we won't be able to move smallholder farmers in West Africa out of poverty. We are a Dandelion. Are you? @projdandelion #projectdandelion #flwrpwr #cop28

We are thrilled to share our latest achievement. We have reached 193,000 farmers across Mali and Senegal through our mobile layaway platform, climate-smart agricultural training, and support packages. We've not just met but surpassed our goal of 175,000 farmers, almost doubling our reach from last season. 65% of these farmers are women, and our commitment to empowering women remains unwavering. We look forward to continuing our work with farmers, helping them to increase their income, nurture thriving farms, and strengthen their families and communities. #myAgro #womeninagriculture #smallholderfarmers

Meet Therese, a 32-year-old mother of 4 who has found a beautiful balance between farming and family. We're passionate about empowering women in agriculture, and Therese's journey exemplifies the positive impact we aim to create. Starting with our bissap package to increase her family's income, she trusted our model and then added our poultry package, providing her children with nutritious meals and enabling her to support their education. Her story is a testament to the transformative power of myAgro's tailored packages, allowing women like Therese to excel in agriculture while continuing to nurture their families. “Working with myAgro has helped me to pay for my children’s school fees and school materials such as bags for them. It makes me happy to satisfy the needs of my children.” Read more about Therese: https://lnkd.in/eWjzrATZ #EmpowerWomen #Agriculture #myAgro

Climate change is a pressing concern for people worldwide, but for farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa, the effects of this crisis have unfortunately become the new norm. This reality is the driving force behind our commitment to embedding climate considerations in everything we do. From farmer training methods to the incorporation of climate-smart seeds in our packages, addressing climate change mitigation and adaptation is just one of the numerous ways organizations around the world can confront the challenges faced by impacted communities.

Droughts, floods, decreased soil quality, and climbing temperatures require the farmers we serve to adapt to weather challenges. This reality is why our model not only helps farmers invest their own money, but also provides climate-smart agricultural training so that they can grow more productive farms and reliable income.

We're working with farmers to boost yields and income and to ensure food security for their families and communities while building a resilient food system for the continent.
