Our Impact
An overview of our work in 2024
Building Resilience since 2004
Farmers and artisans face growing challenges around the world. Factors like climate change, economic instability, and limited resources continue to impact rural communities’ ability to build resilience and secure sustainable livelihoods.
In response to these challenges, Shared Interest Foundation has worked alongside farmers, artisans, and communities across Africa and Latin America to foster economic resilience and social empowerment.
We were delighted to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Foundation in 2024. We are proud to say that since 2004, we have delivered 51 projects, in 15 countries, reaching over 13,000 farmers and artisans and counting.
The Foundation continues to deliver vital work providing technical support, enhancing business skills, and promoting sustainable production methods to strengthen local enterprises.
These initiatives, supported by our donors and partners, have advanced our work in climate resilience, gender equality, youth involvement, and income diversification.
