Mulago Foundation donations made to Babban Gona

This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2024. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

50,000.0022015--https://mulagofoundation.org/Portfolio/babban-gona-- Donation date is not a single date but rather when funding began. Rainer fellow in 2014. Mulago’s reasons for investing: “Nigeria’s youth population is surging and prospects for formal employment are dim. Most families live off small subsistence farms, but that will never work for younger people looking for a better life. Babban Gona turns subsistence farms into profitable businesses through access to good training, affordable capital, quality inputs, and better prices for their crops. Babban Gona in turn makes money from farmer services, loan interest, and crop marketing. As a for-profit, they’re able to tap the capital that can drive aggressive growth -- and perhaps spawn an industry that will make farming a profitable business for millions of smallholder farmers, not least for the young people who need livelihoods so badly.”.
