Job description

About Raising The Village

We are Raising The Village RTV – an international development organization and a registered charity – on a mission to end ultra-poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa. Raising The Village is a fast-growing organization on an accelerated growth path.

We have 120 national staff in Uganda and a small team in North America working together to lift communities out of ultra-poverty in last-mile villages.

Our ultimate objective is to increase and diversify the household income and value of partner households through agriculture, productive assets, and entrepreneurship within 24 months.

We achieve this through the provision of high-quality agricultural inputs (such as tools and improved seeds) and a variety of training (in agriculture, sanitation and financial literacy) and technical support.

With a data-informed model and a highly adaptive learning framework, our programs enable communities to increase their household incomes and earnings from less than $1/day to $2.25/day within 24 months.

We work in the thematic areas of agriculture; here is the agriculture page on the website:
https://raisingthevillage.org/impact-drivers-agriculture/ , WASH, Financial Inclusion through a gender transformative and community-driven development approach.


To date we have supported more than 665,000 people through our innovative holistic approach and are on track to expand to reaching one million people annually in the region by 2027.


We have achieved this tremendous growth with the support of our incredible partners from all around the globe who believe in our model and impact. Find out more about our programs and impact at: www.raisingthevillage.org .
