Mavuno — Grassroots Development for Congo
We develop the skills and knowledge of farmers, students, entrepreneurs and community leaders through practical, hands-on training.
We demonstrate viable solutions through our Rural Development Center, agricultural enterprises and practical field projects.
Communities adopt and replicate successful practices, creating sustainable growth and lasting transformation.
Farming families face interconnected barriers. Mavuno addresses them through five pillars.
01
Negotiating cultivation access with landowners and using soil fertility testing to guide crop and land choices.
02
Practical training, farmer field schools and demonstrations adapted to local farming conditions.
03
Suitable seeds, tools and agricultural support to help families produce and recover after crises.
04
Access to markets
Market information, product quality and connections with buyers to turn harvests into income.
05
Community savings and loan groups (AVEC/VSLA) to support investment and income-generating activities.
Mavuno is a Congolese nonprofit founded in Beni in 2014. We work alongside rural farming communities to strengthen their livelihoods and build lasting prosperity.
Local leadership, practical learning and community participation guide our work.
