Smart Change International helps landless and hungry families in Northern Uganda (Arua & Koboko) grow their own food and feed themselves indefinitely. 

For a landless family in need of food, Smart Change International makes a one time investment for a one-year lease of a plot of agricultural land, seeds, and simple agricultural tools. From the harvest, families feed themselves but also sell some surplus on the village market to obtain the funds for the land lease and seeds for subsequent years. This way, the solution becomes self sustaining and permanent.
