myAgro is an award-winning organization that equips smallholder farmers in West Africa to move out of poverty and thrive. Smallholder farmers produce 70% of food consumed in West Africa, yet remain the largest group of people living under $2/day globally.
With myAgro’s innovative mobile layaway platform, farmers can save money little-by-little to buy packages of farm inputs and climate smart training, all delivered right to their village. With package options including seeds, fertilizer, trees, and poultry, myAgro helps farmers diversify and increase their yields and income. On average, myAgro farmers produce 50-100% more food and earn US$50-150 more income – strengthening their families’ food security, financial independence, and resilience to climate shocks.
We’ve grown from 240 farmers in 2011 to more than 250,000 in 2024, and will continue to scale in the coming years to reach our North Star goal of serving one million farmers in West Africa. Learn more at myagro.com.

We are thrilled to be partnering with Citi on this highly impactful facility! This financing helps myAgro pre-purchase inputs and ensure availability of the high-quality seeds and fertilizer we provide to smallholder farmers in West Africa. These inputs, combined with our climate smart agriculture training, are proven to increase food security and resilience for over 300,000 myAgro farmers. Thank you to Citi for supporting this critical aspect of our work!
This holiday season, support women farmers in Senegal to thrive.
myAgro’s poultry program was born from a strong demand voiced by women farmers, who sought a sustainable way to support their families despite limited access to land. Working hand-in-hand with these farmers, we co-designed a poultry model that meets their specific needs, providing them with the tools, training, and resources to succeed. myAgro’s poultry packages equips women to earn a 3x return on their investment, and provide their families with nutritious food and income all year-round. Through myAgro’s 2024 Poultry for Progress campaign, you can help us provide more women across Senegal with access to this life-changing opportunity. Click the link in comments to donate or to support this campaign.
“I decided to invest in poultry with myAgro because everything that myAgro provides is a source of development for us farmers... Being able to care for myself and my family in this way gives me a sense of pride and freedom. It gives me the confidence to increase my agricultural investments.” – Amy Faye, myAgro Farmer in Ndiassane, Senegal.
This giving season, myAgro is equipping women like Amy to break through barriers of poverty. Through our innovative poultry program, we connect women with the tools, training, and high-quality birds they need to become thriving and resilient agricultural entrepreneurs. Poultry is a game-changer for women, who often face barriers to land access; myAgro chicks require no farmland and can be raised for both meat and eggs, which farmers can consume and sell year-round.The impact? Improved food security and consistent income that helps families move out of poverty and adapt to climate chocks.
Donate to myAgro’s 2024 campaign today and empower women like Amy to transform their livelihoods through poultry farming. Link in comments to learn more!

Unlock opportunity for women farmers in Senegal with myAgro Poultry!
Amy joined us this year as a poultry #entrepreneur. With little knowledge about the business, she was a quick study. Through myAgro’s training, she gained skills in poultry raising, sales, and managing her books to reach 500 farmers in her region with packages of dual-purpose chicks.
In an area where many women lack access to farmland, #PoultryFarming is a practical and profitable endeavor that can be managed close to home. Amy explains,“Working from home is advantageous for us women in Senegal. That’s why this project is so wonderful – it allows women to gain independence and make a living.”
For Amy’s customers – most of whom are women – poultry is a game-changer that provides their families with meat and eggs, to be sold or consumed all year-round. This means more stable income to save or pay for food, school, healthcare, and other needs. On the front lines of climate change in Senegal, this consistency helps families build resilience to shocks.
As we work to provide more women with this life-changing opportunity, myAgro is launching an End of Year Campaign to grow a network of 150 women-led poultry enterprises by December 2025. our contribution will transform women’s livelihoods, strengthen household food security, and build #ClimateResilience for rural communities across Senegal.
