From training to profit!

Our outcomes aren't just theoretical. is making a real difference in the lives of real smallholder farmers in Nigeria. We just received a message from one of the women trained last year letting us know that she has produced over 200kg (>440lbs) of compost, but since she is not able to farm right now, she is now selling the compost to her former office colleagues for N1,200/kg to use on THEIR farms.

🧕In her own words:

"Wao. This is big time biz! Thanks for teaching us. I will surely do this [building and selling compost] as a serious business for now, until I am able to engage in farming."

Compost building provides smallholder farmers with a powerful tool to maximize profitability. By converting agricultural waste into valuable organic fertilizer, farmers slash expensive inorganic fertilizer costs, reclaim degraded soils, and boost crop yields. This practice also creates a new revenue stream through the commercial sale of excess compost to other growers.
