Invest in the future of farming in rural Africa
For over thirty years, Ripple Effect has supported farming families in rural Africa to make the most of their land, build resilience, and overcome poverty.
Our work focuses on sustainable farming, financial security, and equality – three pillars that work together to empower communities in East Africa to lead lasting change.
Three funds, one mission
Our three thematic funds offer a way to support the cause that matters most to you, while creating lasting change across Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Burundi, and Zambia. Each fund represents a five-year commitment concluding at the end of 2030.

Every donation to our thematic funds is allocated to maximise impact:
- 10% funds work to build and share our expertise through innovation and external influencing
- 40% supports core costs – the essential staff, systems, and infrastructure that make your chosen programme area possible
- 50% will be flexible, used across the organisation where the need is greatest so all our programmes can reach their goals.
This balanced approach ensures your support strengthens both immediate programme delivery and our long-term resilience. It also gives us the flexibility to respond to climate shocks, rising costs, and a competitive funding landscape.

As a thank you for an investment of £5,000 or more, you'll receive:
