- We’re thrilled to announce that we received the prestigious Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation award for Social Entrepreneurship!
Anne Marie Burgoyne, Portfolio Director for DRK Foundation says “The Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation is proud to support the efforts of myAgro to bring innovative farming and financing practices to farmers in West Africa. We are confident that their focus on measuring impact, effectively using technology and building strong local relationships will change the lives and opportunities for the farm families they serve.” We’re excited to be part of such a strong network of organizations including our friends and mentors at One Acre Fund, Kiva.org, Living Goods, Room to Read, VisionSpring and Sanergy. - We enrolled our 1500th farmer for the 2013 planting season – a growth of over 400% compared to last year.
- We grew our vendor partners from 4 to 10. Fun fact: 9 /10 vendors are myAgro farmers.
- We launched myAgro in eastern Senegal with a dedicated team of field officers – nearly all from the same area where we are working!
- Check out farmers from Tandianabougou and Sanambele villages in Mali talk about what they think of the myAgro model.
