Your Village. Your Land. Your Future.
The Village Development Model puts your community first. Together, we feed our families, develop our land, and build a prosperous future.
The Village Development Model
Your village is a family
In the Village Development Model, your village works like a family. Just as a family feeds its children before selling at market, your village grows enough food for every household first. Then, working together as one, you grow commercial crops that bring income to every family.
Feed First
Every family has enough beans and maize before any commercial crop is planted.
Work Together
All village adults decide together. Every household has a voice. All must consent.
Develop Together
Commercial income is shared fairly and funds village development for everyone.
What Piwa Brings to Your Village
Water
Solar-powered pumps bring water from the lake to your fields through pipes. No more depending on rain alone.
Tractors
Walking tractors, planters, and harvesters shared across the village. Land preparation in days, not weeks.
Seeds & Inputs
Certified seeds, fertilizer, and crop protection. Everything you need for a strong harvest.
Markets
Buyers are agreed before planting. You know the price before the seed goes in the ground.
Protection
Crop insurance and shared risk. If disaster strikes, you are not left alone.
Fair Payment
The majority of commercial revenue goes to farming families. Transparent — you see every number.
What You Keep
Always.
Your Land
Joining Piwa never transfers ownership of your land to Piwa. Your land stays with your family and your village, and you can leave the scheme at the end of a season.
Your Food Plots
Before any commercial crop, every family grows enough food to eat for the whole year.
Your Home
Your compound, your homestead, your family space — these are never part of the scheme.
Your Governance
The village assembly makes decisions. Piwa provides technology and markets. Your community leads.
How the Money Works
Simple and transparent
Farmers in irrigated schemes earn significantly more than with rainfed farming alone.
Food Security Guarantee
Before any commercial crop is planted, your village will grow enough beans and maize to feed every family for the whole year. This is not optional — it is the foundation of everything we do together.
