Capital deployment unlocks opportunities for small-scale farmers to build new or scale farmer and ranch owner agricultural businesses, cooperatives, and social enterprises. Through financial freedom we advance economic development and growth, particularly for women-led businesses and underserved communities across Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Through a strategic partnership between CARES and local partners across 25+ countries in Africa, 10+ in Latin America, and 5+ in Asia we connect farmers to finance and opportunity, including major philanthropists, governments, financial institutions, developers, and private sector leaders.

Our goal is to design and implement an initiative that:
• Expands access to capital and financial systems
• Enables asset ownership and asset-based financing
• Supports enterprise development and job creation
• Strengthens regional trade, investment, and value chains
