From Donation to Transformation

Opportunity International AgFinance's mission is to help smallholder farmers grow more and earn more. Your donations directly impact this work – this is how.

Every dollar you give grows 10x. 

Your support doesn’t just fund one farm or one family. It fuels an entire ecosystem of impact – leveraging your gift to unlock ten times more in loans for hardworking smallholder farmers. 

Our Model: Empowering Farmers to End Poverty 

Opportunity AgFinance helps farmers transform subsistence plots into thriving, income-generating businesses. We empower smallholder farmers to grow more and earn more. Farmers choose how to use the tools, training, and financial services we help provide, creating lasting change for themselves and their communities. 

How Your Donation Works – A Timeline 

Step 1: You Give 
Your donation builds the foundation: developing financial products, training programs, and digital tools that farmers and partners need. 

Step 2: We Equip Local Financial Partners 
Financial institutions receive training, resources, and technical expertise to sustainably lend to farmers. 

Step 3: Partners Multiply Your Gift 
For every $1 donated, partners are able to loan $10 to farmers, providing the working capital needed for seeds, fertilizer, equipment, and more. 

Step 4: Farmers Invest in Their Farms 
Farmers choose how to grow – planting more, improving soil, or diversifying crops. With Farmer Support Agents by their side, they boost yields and incomes. 

Step 5: Communities Thrive 
With stronger farms come stronger households. Families can afford school fees, healthcare, and reinvestment into their land, ultimately breaking the cycle of poverty. 

By the Numbers  

(As of June 2025) 
  • 29 financial service providers partnered 
  • 1,000,000+ loans disbursed to farmers 
  • $570,900,000+ in capital released to farmers 
  • 3,583 Farmer Support Agents on the ground 
  • 635,000+ farmers supported by FSAs

  • 57% of loan clients are women 

Why It Matters 

By 2030, 9 out of 10 people living in extreme poverty will live in sub-Saharan Africa – and most will be farmers. 

Investing in smallholder farmers is one of the most effective ways to fight poverty. With your support, we’re proving that financing African farmers is not only possible, it’s sustainable, scalable, and transformative. 

Your dollar doesn’t stop at donation. It grows, multiplies, and transforms lives – 10x over.
