In Madagascar, over 80,000 rice farmers supported by the Aga Khan Foundation have increased their yields by up to three-fold, helping to end the hungry season for their families. Community-based savings groups allow their households to quickly access savings or credit, be it to pay for school fees or planting labour or to defer selling harvests to a time when prices are higher.
