The LYF is an enterprising, small charity – but one that achieves big results.
We create innovative and entrepreneurial ventures that support the efforts of smallholder producer organisations in developing countries to build their businesses and lift themselves out of poverty. We help them to understand and access new markets, create their own branded products, and gain more value from the supply chain.
But we don’t stop there. We also run a number of social enterprise initiatives with groups and communities in the UK to increase awareness of the challenges facing producers in the developing world and to create direct-trading relationships.
