The Wood Foundation Africa

About

TWFA's activities are focused on three main areas of (i) continued ownership and/or management of factories originally acquired by The Wood Foundation and partners from Government of Rwanda. (ii) implementation of a series of large-scale and long-term smallholder tea development projects in Rwanda and Tanzania each supporting large numbers of smallholder farmers to plant between 2500 and 4000 hectares of tea on their own land. and (iii) direct investment in smallholder-supplied businesses in rural Africa where it can add value to those farmers. Future returns from those investments will be used to fund The Wood Foundation's ongoing charitable activities. TWFA's activities are financed by a combination of funding from The Wood Foundation and other philanthropic investors and donors to provide support and long-term interest free finance to benefit large numbers of smallholder farmers.
