Sow Seeds of Hope: Rebuild Tigray Together

Welcome to Empowering the Farmers Inc., a United States of America based not-for-profit 501(c)(3), EIN# 93-2644193.  Our mission is to rejuvenate and transform agriculture in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. In the wake of devastation wrought by recent conflicts, our nonprofit stands as a beacon of hope and support for local farmers who are the backbone of their communities and the economy. With your help, we are making strides towards a future where agriculture in Tigray not only recovers but flourishes with strength, wealth, and sustainability. 

Our Vision

At Empowering the Farmers Inc., we envision a Tigray where every farmer has access to the tools, technology, and resources needed to thrive...Our goal is to replace labor-intensive traditional farming methods with modern, sustainable, and efficient agricultural practices. By doing so, we aim to secure not just the livelihoods of individual farmers but also ensure food security and resilience against economic and environmental challenges for the entire region.

How We Help

Thanks to the generous support of donors like you, we provide essential farming supplies...and equipment, including bulls, tractors, crops, generators, and mills. These resources are vital in enabling our farmers to produce a variety of essential foods, thereby supporting their families and communities. In partnership with other Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and local entities, we're bringing innovative solutions to the forefront of Tigray's agricultural sector. One such initiative is our investment in rainwater harvesting techniques. This approach allows farmers to cultivate their lands all year round, regardless of weather conditions, thus enabling them to grow fruits and vegetables continuously while protecting their crops against droughts, floods, and other weather-related adversities.

Our Approach

Empowering the Farmers Inc. is dedicated to introducing modern farming techniques...that enhance productivity without compromising the quality of produce. We believe in the power of education and provide training and support to farmers, helping them to adopt these new methods successfully. By doing so, we not only aid in immediate recovery efforts but also lay the groundwork for long-term sustainability and growth in the agricultural sector of Tigray.
