Kickstart International: Small-scale irrigation pumpsUPDATED JAN 2021
KickStartInternational is an award winning non-profit (501c3) social enterprise founded in 1991
We believe that the number one need of the poor is a way to make a lot more money.
The best way for millions of small-scale farmers in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to substantially increase their incomes is to move from ‘rain-fed subsistence farming’ to ‘commercial irrigated agriculture’.
Since 1998, KickStart has designed and promoted very low-cost MoneyMakerbranded irrigation pumps. These pumps enable small-scale farmers to grow, harvest and sell high-value crops throughout the year—especially in long dry seasons when food is scarce and prices are high. The farmers earn large new year-round incomes, make additional income-generating investments and take major steps out of poverty.
