PaygOps x One Acre Fund Series Episode 3: How do we Help Improve Farming Families' Quality of Life?

Once you've helped farmers increase their yields, what's next? How can you help them improve other areas of their lives and support them in their paths to prosperity?

In this new instalment of the PaygOps x One Acre Fund "life-changing" series, get to know the inspiring story of Rosemary, a resilient smallholder farmer in Kenya who improved her quality of life substantially ever since she joined the One Acre Fund programme backed by PaygOps.

Solaris Offgrid supports distributors and manufacturers across all industries in over 35 countries through Product Development Services and flexible IT solutions. Solaris Offgrid’s flagship PaygOps platform is an interoperable B2B SaaS which connects energy and utility appliances (solar devices, water-pumps, cookstoves, smart metres, e-bikes) and payment methods (Pay-as-you-go and Mobile Money) within a suite of enterprise applications or API services, to allow distributors to smoothly manage their operations and tackle their challenges at the last mile, thus enabling them to provide affordable essential products and services to millions of people at the Bottom-of-the-Pyramid.

One Acre Fund supplies smallholder farmers with the financing and training they need to grow more food and earn more money. Instead of giving handouts, they invest in farmers to generate a permanent gain in farm income. They supply a complete service bundle of seeds and fertiliser, financing, training, and market facilitation— and they deliver such services within walking distance of more than 1 million rural farmers they serve. One Acre Fund measures success in their ability to make farmers more prosperous and they always put Farmers First.
