About Raising The Village
Raising The Village (RTV) is an international development non-profit organization on a mission to end ultra-poverty in last-mile rural communities in Sub-Saharan Africa. Currently operating in Uganda, RTV’s programs address multi-dimensional poverty in remote farming communities through a low-cost, high-impact graduation model. With an initial investment of $15/beneficiary, our programs enable communities to increase their household incomes from $0.95/day to >$2.20/day within 24 months.
Working in close collaboration with the local governments and our partner villages, we operate at the intersection of direct implementation and advanced analytics to create cost efficient, and time saving approaches with an accurate understanding of progress and real-time adjustment within a community development context. We aim to operate with the highest levels of accuracy and integrity to present the clearest possible picture of our work and impact. For more information, visit: www.raisingthevillage.org
