#ResilientTogether

Across the globe, there are shortages of food at the market, fewer jobs available, and daily struggles with lowered incomes on a scale that many of us have never experienced.

The moment is critical.

Across the globe, there are shortages of food at the market. There are fewer jobs available. And millions are struggling with newly lowered or non-existent incomes. For many people in the U.S. and other wealthy countries, these are sudden and new experiences. But they are only a glimpse into the challenges many rural Africans face every day.

A global economic downturn will hit already struggling people the hardest.

Existing gaps in economies will become wider. The lack of resources for rural farmers will become more drastic. Opportunities for rural entrepreneurs will disappear across Africa. Most nations will not have the extraordinary resources needed to stop the devastating impact.

We could see tens of millions more people experiencing hunger and extreme poverty by years end.

You can help.

With your support, we will be able to continue working with our African neighbors to strengthen food systems. Farmers will still be able process food with more efficient tools. Entrepreneurs will still have access to resources to create food products and generate income.

Donate now so they can weather not just the current crisis, but any challenge in the future.

These past few weeks have shown us that we live in a global society. We must work together to raise up the most vulnerable among us and ensure we all grow #ResilientTogether.

About Bountifield International

Bountifield International cultivates opportunity for rural African entrepreneurs through investment in market-led solutions for agricultural growth. This includes developing and adapting postharvest technology packages for small-scale enterprises in rural communities that increases the availability of locally sourced food and providing business & food safety training. Focusing on creating opportunity for rural entrepreneurs also generates economic opportunity small-scale farmers, who often rely on inefficient manual methods using hand tools, leading to up to a third of harvested food being lost to the elements and spoilage. Bountifield technology packages owned by entrepreneurs can be made available to numerous small-scale farmers in their surrounding communities as part of locally run rental or fee-for-service programs.

By closing the gap in the market keeping farmers from accessing mechanized tools, our technology packages for rural enterprises improves food quality and reduces food loss, resulting in better food security within entire communities.
