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 farming income, expanding diverse income sources, building productive assets, and removing barriers to economic participation. Its programs combine community collaboration with hands-on farming, income diversification, and asset development, guided by real-time data analytics that monitor conditions and outcomes to adjust interventions quickly. The organization relies on live data to target support where it is needed, enabling precise, measurable impact as a not-for-profit. The goal is to lift the poorest households’ income and production in a sustainable way through data-informed, household-level assistance.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • On 2026-07-30, CGD highlighted RTV as a scalable, cost-effective graduation model.
  • RTV reports 2026 reach above three million people, signaling strong partner demand.
  • Founders Pledge renewed support in 2026, and Thankyou funded $1.56 million AUD.

What critics are saying

  • RTV depends on donor renewals; Thankyou funding ends if partners shift priorities.
  • Rwanda and DRC learning hubs remain small, so expansion execution risk stays high.
  • If independent RCT results disappoint, RTV's cost-effectiveness pitch loses its core moat.

What makes Raising The Village unique

  • RTV's 24-month village-wide graduation program combines agriculture, finance, health, and leadership.
  • 2026 Learning Hubs in Rwanda and DRC let RTV adapt one model across contexts.
  • More than 500 teammates and data-informed delivery support scale across Uganda's 13 districts.
