About Swayam Farmer Foundation
Swayam trains and finances marginal farmers to grow higher value crops and adopt sustainable methods, enabling them to lift themselves out of poverty. Our vision is to uplift 100,000 marginal farmers in the next five years.
In 2018, we began operations in the Fatehpur district of Uttar Pradesh and successfully completed our pilot project with 50 farmers, offering continuous training and agri input based micro-finance.
