What you do matters now more than ever.
For more than 25 years, IDE has pioneered sustainable solutions to the problem of poverty in the developing world. More than ever, our supporters are seeking creative ways to get more involved in the exciting and increasingly important work we're doing, so IDE has created three new funding initiatives that let you choose how to get involved. When you support one of these initiatives, we will keep you informed about the projects you're helping to fund through quarterly updates that let you see the direct impact of your donation. Best of all, you'll know that your generous donation won't be a handout, but instead will give families, villages, and communities around the world the tools to lift themselves out of poverty permanently.

| Do you want to have a direct impact on the lives of rural farm families who are working to break the cycle of poverty? IDE's Small Farm Support Initiative connects small farm families with technologies and training so that they can grow what really matters: viable, environmentally-friendly ways to increase their income year after year. |

Our Life is Much Better
A case study from Zambia
More than 70% of Zambians live in poverty. With a per capita income of $395, Zambia ranks among the world’s poorest countries. Crisis-level famine and poverty are compounded by low population density and long distances between settlements, making it difficult for small farmers to access markets.
Before learning about IDE, Peter Chakanyuka, along with his wife and six children, farmed a ½ hectare plot of land. Depending upon rain for irrigation, his family could only grow maize and peanuts, with yields that were too small to sell.
