Our Mission

Emppower Farmers South Sudan (EFSS) teaches smallholder farmers how to grow more food with less effort, using the Foundations for Farming model. Our mission is simple: improve food security, create dignified agricultural livelihoods for the communities, and help families thrive through climate-resilient farming.

The Challenge

Food insecurity and soil degradation threaten millions of families in South Sudan.

Years of conflict, climate shocks, and unsustainable farming practices have left soils exhausted and harvests unreliable. Many smallholder farmers work hard but still face hunger seasons, low yields, and limited access to training or markets.

We envision rural communities where:

Every household produces enough food year-round.

Degraded soils are restored to fertility.

Youth lead the transformation of agriculture.

Farmers earn more through better practices and market access
