Vision in eight years Direct service Partnership with government Help build a broader movement We will directly serve 1.1 million families per year (5 million children) We will have 5,000 field staff spread evenly over rural areas We will be working in 5-6 countries We will represent a significant constituency – for example, 12% of Rwanda’s entire population We will use this as a platform to work together with African governments We will work together with targeted, large microfinance institutions to help them expand into rural agriculture lending There are about 40 million extremely subsistence farm families in Sub-Saharan Africa – growing by 1 million per year. We need to think ambitiously, at scale. CONFIDENTIAL
