The problems are solving is the current climate change, natural disaster, drought, conflict and political instabilities and poor transport services. I believe that through working with communities , and by boosting agriculture, its the only way we can help improve our ecosystem, mitigate hunger,climate change and improve environment for future generations. We are using technology, our platform to bring our beneficiaries together for this sustainable developement goal.
We are in goals like SDG 1, 2, 6,7 and 13 of the united nation.
Our solutions can help improve agriculture, environment, economics empowerment. Agriculture as back bone of the world, nations like sub sahara Africa is able to generate about $214 B per ayear in sub sahara Africa alone. According to (world Bank 2014/2017) reports. Base on our interview with NGOs, Government and stakeholders our project is going to improve living standard of the under deserved communities. By making farmers access finance, we believe sustainable agriculture can add inputs to the community.
