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.
