2/2 Over the past decade, we’ve changed a lot as an organization and grown in scale, capability, ambition, and impact. Our mission and our commitment to the communities we work with remain as strong as ever. What’s new is how we share that work with you.

1/2 We’re excited to introduce our refreshed brand and our new website, which shows how community partnership, real-time data, and evidence-based learning drive lasting progress in last-mile communities, where opportunity is hardest to reach. raisingthevillage.org

2/2 Combined with improved food security, access to clean water, and practical training in hygiene and sanitation, these efforts help remove barriers to participation in economic activities and support healthier, more productive households. #lastmile #equity #sdgs #sustainable

2/2 "Now I dry and sort it, pack it in 100-kilo bags, and look for better markets. We can now plan better for our family and think beyond the next season.” - David, Rakai district. #sustainable #equity #farming #agriculture #organicfarming #lastmile #coffee #coffeefarming #growth

1/2 “For a long time, we had coffee diseases and pests affecting the growth of our trees, and we didn’t know what to do. We would sell our coffee immediately after harvesting it from the garden, and the middlemen would determine the prices for us." - David, Rakai District.

2/2 "From 4 kilos of beans, I harvested 100 kilos, and my coffee has also improved. Through the VSLA loans, my wife and I have bought livestock. I was even re-elected as LC1 Chairperson because I worked on bringing a protected water source to the village.” - John, Mitooma.

1/2 “I've been farming and rearing cows from childhood, but for many years, we lacked knowledge. We didn’t know how to control pests, make compost, or liquid manure. After the training, I learned how to use organic manure, manage pests, and take better care of my animals." - John

2/2 "After the training, I harvested 150 kg from the same amount of beans. I was elected as an agriculture champion for my village. I visit households to support the adoption of best practices and remind people how to keep their gardens productive.” - Allison, Rukiga district.

1/2 “Our land was overworked, and we depended on expensive fertilizers. From 4 kg of beans, we would harvest only about 20 kg. In the training, it was my first time seeing how liquid manure is made. I didn’t know that waste could be useful in cultivating crops." - Allison.

2/2 "The income has helped me purchase livestock, and through our VSLA, I can save and access funds when needed, even if my husband is not around. I am now planning to expand my goats and pigs so that I can provide school fees for my four children.” - Jenina, Rubirizi District.

1/2 "I’m a farmer, growing beans, cassava, bananas, coffee, sweet potatoes, and vanilla. The training sessions taught me how to make organic manure and natural pesticides, which, coupled with the high-quality seeds we received, have significantly improved my harvests."- Jenina
