RURAL DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE

In RDI, we designed our "Smallholder Farmer Commercialization Model" which centres on investing in extremely rural and very small-scale farmers through the principles of cooperation and self-help. As of 2026, we hope to build one of Rwanda 's largest communities of small-scale farmers and we are providing a sustainable solution to the most critical barriers hindering the prosperity of Rwanda's most rural and small-scale farmers... Since its inception, RDI has been striving to improve the livelihoods of rural communities in Rwanda through volunteer projects designed to improve agriculture practices and agribusiness within the state, create standardized implementation practices for new technologies, and introduce farmer field schools for populations with the greatest need... Through modular learning, we provide training to smallholder farmers that look at all aspects of the value chain from farm to buyer.
