THE ONE ACRE FUND

The One Acre Fund hosted its annual gala at the iconic Café Brauer in Chicago, bringing together more than 240 supporters, partners, and community members for an evening of celebration and impact. Guests enjoyed a vibrant interactive drum performance by world-renowned Senegalese artist Massamba Diop, inspiring stories directly from African farmers whose lives have been transformed by One Acre Fund’s programs, and the opportunity to connect with others committed to advancing food security. The event surpassed all expectations, raising an impressive $1.2 million. These funds will directly expand One Acre Fund’s services to reach more than 67,000 individuals across Kenya, providing access to quality seeds, fertilizer, training, and support. By strengthening smallholder farmers and their families, this investment fosters long-term food security, healthier communities, and greater resilience in the face of economic and climate challenges. oneacrefund.org
