What We Do

God Farm was created in 2005 as a tangible way to put the Christian faith in action by helping to eliminate poverty. God Farm is a humanitarian relief organization that helps the world's poor become micro-entrepreneurs.

With a little help in becoming micro-entrepreneurs, the poor can break the cycle of poverty, and with the elimination of poverty comes hope, health, and the strengthening of families.

Poverty crushes the human spirit. Three billion people — one half of the world’s population — live on less than $2 per day and are unable to meet their basic human needs. Malnutrition, lack of health care, substandard housing, and illiteracy breed desperation, disease, and daily suffering. Poverty traps future generations in a vicious cycle without hope or opportunity.

We believe that micro-finance and micro-credit loans to help the world's poor become micro-entrepreneurs can nearly elimate poverty as we know it within one generation.

The most common tool to help micro-entrepreneurs is a micro-credit loan — usually less than $100. These tiny loans are sufficient for hardworking micro-entrepreneurs to start or expand small businesses, such as basket weaving, raising chickens, or buying wholesale products to sell at the market.

The success of these programs proves that it is possible to make both a social impact and a profit. In fact, micro-entrepreneurs — street vendors, laborers, and artisans — who have been written off as unbankable in the past make excellent customers when they have access to financial products and resources that match their needs.

Income from these businesses provides better food, housing, health care, and education for entire families. And most importantly, the additional income provides hope for a better future.
