Raising the village

A world without ultra-poverty is the vision that drives RTV.

Operating at the intersection of community-driven development and data-informed impact, RTV partners with last-mile farming communities in Sub-Saharan Africa over 24 months to address ultra-poverty through a multi-dimensional program model. RTV’s approach focuses on increasing household income and earnings from as little as $0.75/day to > $2.00/day within 24 months by driving agricultural incomes, fueling new income-generating opportunities, creating an enabling environment for communities to participate, and ensuring the sustainability of impact and progress.

With an emphasis on women, youth, and vulnerable households, each dimension of RTV programming works together to build household incomes year-after-year as communities transition from subsistence farming to income generation, breaking the chronic cycle of ultra-poverty.
