Each donation will go to our Sustainable Agriculture Program. The most sustainable way to donate because your donation will grow and farmers will be able to earn more. This will support the Farm Schools we are establishing in the Philippines.
From Feb-April 2019, we will have 265 farmers students in 10 farm schools in Davao City alone
Some Background:
Farmers are to be considered super heroes! They feed us three times a day and even more!
Ironically, most farmers can’t even feed themselves, and can’t provide basic necessities to their families.
How much do you earn in a month? In the Philippines, the monthly average income for farmers is $88.00 or 4,000.00 Philippine peso.
Technology can help us solve the problem, RiceUp Farmers , a social enterprise, is created to connect farmers directly to the local market and consumers. It is designed to empower them financially thus increasing their productivity and self-sufficiency. It also encourage co-operatives that will serve as production hubs in each villages. It will lead to fair market competition and will build a strong farmer-consumer relationship. Thus, we are fostering a more simple, less expensive and more equitable supply chain.
