True Moringa

5 years ago, we took a hard look at our supply chain and asked ourselves - What would it look like to create a farming model that eliminated barriers to entry for women to farm higher value crops like moringa? So we asked women farmers. Here is what they said: ?? Access to land - many women in rural Ghana do not have access to land of their own, which makes it impossible to grow tree crops ?? Access to childcare - on-site care for babies and toddlers and support to keep school age children in school ?? Flexible hours - to allow mothers time to care for their families ?? Access to patient capital - covering the upfront cost of irrigation, fertilizer, and organic seeds that can be paid back over a long time horizon ?? Access to market - a guaranteed market for higher value crops to reduce risk Through these changes, the number of women farming moringa at a meaningful scale in our community has gone from virtually zero to 72% on our organic regenerative farm. Here’s to listening and learning from women, and celebrating women farmers throughout women’s history month & every day!?? #womenshistorymonth #womeninagriculture #regenerativefarming #regenerativeorganic #moringa

???? Join us in celebrating our True Moringa Field Officer Mavis Siantey on winning a Whole Foods Market Foundation Field Officer Appreciation Award for outstanding service! ?? As a teenager, Mavis started a 50 tree moringa farm in her community in 2018. At the time, tree farming was a male dominated endeavor, but many women in the community were inspired and began asking Mavis to teach them how to grow the tree. ?????? Mavis recruited 50 farmers in her community to join her. We were so impressed by her work that asked her to join our field to train new moringa farmers and lead Village Savings & Loan Associations (VSLA) groups to help farmers save and lend the income they earned from moringa. ?? Today, Mavis is one of True Moringa’s most successful field officers, leading 145 farmers in her community. Her VSLA groups have a 100% repayment rate. They have saved $66,000 and dispersed over $80,500 in loans since 2019. ?? We recently paid a visit to Mavis’ farm to see those original 50 trees in bloom 6 years later - a testament to the power of consistency, hard work, and community ?? We are grateful for Mavis and all of our farmers today and every day! ?

Today, fresh Moringa leaves were harvested, and I couldn’t help but feel excited about how incredibly green and vibrant they looked. Their freshness is a testament to the wonders of nature and the effort invested in their cultivation. Moments like these remind me how much I love seeing plants flourish. #Harvest #SustainableFarming

As the new year kicks off, we are celebrating $1,000,000 in community wealth generated through our Village Savings & Loan Association program. Since our program started 5 years ago, our farmers have met weekly in their communities to save and lend the earnings from their farms to one another - reinvesting in expanding their farms, starting a side business, or education for their children and family members. Despite a pandemic, climate change, and an inflation crisis, our farmers continued to show up for themselves and each other, growing savings and lending by double digits year over year. This milestone is a testament to power of community and consistency - we’re so proud of our farmers and our field team, and we can’t wait to share how these numbers and this community grows in 2025!
