Raising The Village

Raising The Village

Not-for-profit boosts rural agricultural incomes

Overview

Raising The Village partners with ultra-poor, last-mile communities to raise household income and production from under $1/day to over $2/day by boosting agricultural income, diversifying livelihoods, and building productive assets. Real-time data analytics are used to identify barriers, guide decision-making, tailor interventions, and track impact. The approach targets households with on-the-ground programs in farming, income diversification, and asset development, guided by precise data rather than broad assumptions. The goal is to lift income and production for the poorest communities in a way that leads to steady, sustainable improvements in well-being.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • 2025 Annual Report showed 19x ROI after five years for the 2020 cohort.
  • RTV launched 1,046 community initiatives and 3,367 health outreach days in 2025.
  • Fundación Netri began a five-year partnership in 2026 to expand Uganda operations.

What critics are saying

  • RTV still depends on grant capital; 2025 fundraising remained concentrated in philanthropy.
  • Chief Growth Officer hiring in August 2026 signals a capital scale problem, not market pull.
  • If donor growth stalls, the 24-month model stops scaling and communities lose continuity.

What makes Raising The Village unique

  • 24-month village programs delivered 6x ROI in 2025 graduating cohort.
  • Raising The Village reached 647,285 people across Uganda, Rwanda, and Congo in 2025.
  • Gates Foundation funded RTV $1.1 million in August 2025 for women and girls.
