By helping developing farmers to get on their feet, SerDev is building a network of entrepreneurs and innovators in communities that are often plagued by poverty and undesirable conditions. This is done with the aim to create communities that have food security and the ability to be self-sufficient. Our community development programme consists of household surveys, management and training support, as well as assistance with business planning, access to finance, and job creation. Initial tests have shown that this process is already yielding good results in the form of better health, more income-earning opportunities, and increased community security.
