Our Model Of Change

Raising The Village partners with last-mile farming communities in Sub-Saharan Africa over 24 months to address ultra-poverty through a multi-dimensional program model. Each dimension of our program works together to build household incomes year-after-year as communities transition from subsistence farming to income generation, breaking the chronic cycle of ultra-poverty.

  • Driving Income – by increasing agricultural productivity
  • Enabling Participation – by addressing barriers and creating opportunities
  • Ensuring Sustainability – by building local capacity and structures

 

At the end of our 24-month partnership, the ‘keys’ to the project are handed over to the community, symbolizing independence, ownership, and accountability, as RTV continues to monitor their progress for up to 60 months.

Program Pillars

Committed to SDGs

In the spirit of partnership and our value of working together, Raising The Village is proud to respond to the call to action set forth by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. While our work touches on many of the 17 goals, we prioritize our efforts on 5 critical goals that form the building blocks for peace and prosperity for last-mile communities living in ultra poverty. We actively measure our impact against the targets and goals set for Uganda.

Let’s stay connected.
