Grounded in Action. Driven by Impact.

What We Do:

• Train farmers in regenerative agriculture that restores degraded land while producing abundant harvests
• Introduce accessible technology—mobile apps for weather patterns, soil health monitoring, and market access
• Establish seed banks preserving indigenous crop varieties adapted to local conditions
• Build urban agriculture systems in California bringing fresh food to food deserts
• Create climate-adaptive farming techniques addressing drought, flooding, and extreme weather
  

The Impact:

When communities control their food production, they control their future. Our farmers don't just grow food—they regenerate ecosystems, sequester carbon, and build food systems that can withstand any crisis.

Stories of Change:

"Before Faith Has Feet, I bought everything from the market. Now my land feeds my family, my neighbors, and I sell the surplus. The soil that was dead is alive again. My children see a future in farming—not because they have to, but because they want to."

— Grace, Uganda

What We Do:

• Provide agribusiness entrepreneurship training—from production to marketing to financial management
• Facilitate access to land, credit, and markets that have historically excluded women
• Support the formation of women's cooperatives for collective bargaining power
• Connect women entrepreneurs to digital marketplaces and global buyers
• Develop leadership skills for women to organize communities and advocate for policy change
  

The Impact:

When women control economic resources, poverty doesn't just decrease—it transforms. Children stay in school. Domestic violence drops. Community investment increases. Entire economies shift.

By the Numbers:

• Women in our programs increase household income by an average of 240% within two years
• 87% start businesses that employ others in their communities
• 93% report increased decision-making power in their households
  

Stories of Change:

"I used to ask my husband for money to buy soap. Now I employ six women, I paid for my daughter's university, and I'm teaching other women how to start their own businesses. I am not just surviving—I am building wealth."

What We Do:

• Operate AgriTech innovation labs where youth design climate solutions using drone technology, data analysis, and renewable energy
• Run social entrepreneurship incubators turning ideas into income-generating ventures
• Facilitate intergenerational knowledge exchange—elders teach traditional ecological wisdom, youth teach technology
• Provide real project budgets and decision-making authority to youth-led initiatives
• Integrate STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) through hands-on agriculture
  

The Impact:

Youth aren't waiting for permission to solve problems. They're designing solar-powered irrigation systems, creating apps connecting farmers to markets, leading reforestation projects, and building businesses that generate both income and impact.

Innovation Spotlight:

• Youth in California developed a mobile app connecting urban farmers to restaurant buyers—generating $45,000 in revenue for small-scale producers in the first year
• Ugandan youth collective designed and built rainwater harvesting systems now serving 12 villages
• Jamaican teen entrepreneurs launched a heritage seed company preserving traditional varieties while earning income
  

Stories of Change:

"Everyone said farming was for old people with no education. Now I run a tech-enabled farm business, I teach workshops, and I'm not leaving my community—I'm transforming it."

— Jamal, age 22, Jamaica

What We Do:

• Document oral histories, traditional music, indigenous agricultural knowledge, and craft techniques
• Support cultural enterprises—textile cooperatives, craft markets, heritage tourism initiatives
• Transform public spaces through community-created murals, gardens, and performance venues
• Train community members in digital storytelling, photography, and documentary production
• Organize cultural festivals and markets that generate income while celebrating heritage
  

The Impact:

Culture becomes currency. A grandmother's weaving technique becomes a profitable business. Traditional seed knowledge prevents crop failure. Stories of resilience become published works. Communities don't just preserve their past—they monetize their heritage ethically and sustainably.

Cultural Economy in Action:

• Textile cooperative in South Africa generated $78,000 in sales while training 34 women in traditional beadwork
• "Roots & Routes" heritage tourism program in Jamaica provides income to 15 families while preserving Maroon history
• Community storytelling project produced published anthology with royalties funding youth scholarships
  

Stories of Change:

"My grandmother's pottery designs were 'just tradition'—now they're in boutiques in Johannesburg and online. I'm teaching my daughter techniques that were nearly lost. Our culture is our wealth."

— Nomsa, South Africa

What We Do:

• Use popular education methods—learning through lived experience, dialogue, and reflection
• Facilitate community-based participatory research where residents document problems and design solutions
• Organize action-learning circles that move from problem identification to implementation
• Create cross-continental learning exchanges—communities share strategies across borders
• Apply trauma-informed approaches that acknowledge historical harm while building forward
  

The Impact:

Knowledge becomes power. A community identifies their water crisis, researches solutions, advocates for policy change, and implements a system they designed. Learning isn't passive—it's transformative action.

Methodology Matters:

We don't lecture. We ask: What do you see? What patterns exist? What has been tried? What resources exist? What would success look like? Then we provide tools, connections, and support for communities to answer their own questions.

Community Research Projects:

• California community documented food desert impacts, presented findings to city council, secured funding for community garden network
• Ugandan women's group conducted nutritional survey, identified gaps, launched collective kitchen creating 200 meals daily for schoolchildren
• South African youth mapped local unemployment, designed skills training program, launched cooperative now employing 40 people
  

Stories of Change:

"Nobody asked us what we needed—they just showed up with programs. Faith Has Feet asked us what we saw, what we knew, what we wanted. Then they helped us make it happen. Now we're the ones other communities learn from."
