Our ImpactSeeding Mercy’s mission is to move smallholder farmers out of poverty.
For the last two years, Seeding Mercy has been able to remove over 3,000 people out of poverty. The humanitarian sector needs an innovative organization that is willing to do different things differently. At Seeding Mercy, our goal is to improve lives through innovation-inspired farming and skill sets. Which means that we are designing for impact, building partnerships with organizations that know how to bring innovative solutions to life, and continuing to evolve the products, services, and experiences. Every solution starts small, and at the moment, many of ours are. But we’re eternal optimists, and we’re tracking our solutions as they continue on their steady trajectory of improved lives, stronger communities, and brighter futures.

Our aim is to support additional 5 million smallholder farmers by the year 2026 by increasing their income by $20 per a farmer per day. This would incredibly speed up poverty alleviation drive. |
While many international organizations are working in the hunger fight, most focus their programs on addressing the symptoms not what caused hunger in the first place. Their approaches assume that by providing aid or importing farming strategies, it would help smallholder farmers produce food for themselves. But has this approach worked? The smallholder farmer needs a bundled service which would help them produce enough for their own consumption and for the market. Creating an all-rounded services matrix is the best approach to solving hunger crisis and remove millions wallowing in abject poverty.
Seeding Mercy has pioneered an alternative model which helps farmers produce 6 times more than they would on their traditional methods. Farmers are now able to make their own fertilizers and acquire Seeds and training bundle as they become producers of wealth. After utilizing our offering, the farmer farm’s yields jump from 20% to 90% and sometimes 100%.

Before I was Seeding Mercy client, I used to produce no more than 3 bags of Sorghum; with Seeding Mercy’s fertilizer, new training techniques, hybrid seeds and the assistance of Seeding Mercy’s field agent made a huge difference. I am grateful for this support. |

"We were uncertain about where our next meal will come from if our crops fail again. Now are able to produce food without worrying for our crops being eaten by pests or lacking enough rain for our crops. Thanks to Seeding Mercy". |
Like Sarah, an investment of $50 helps remove a family out of poverty—FOREVER This investment is a onetime investment after which, a person reaches a level where they need no further assistance. They would in turn Feed it Forward contributing in the Feed Forward cycle.
