Growing an organic fair-trade moringa farm in Ghana

Hello everyone,

I am Theophilus Agyakwa Owusu. I am 25 years and a farmer and a business owner of Nia OT Food, Ghana.

I am here seeking your support for the development of my organic farm

About Us

Nia OT Foods is a young Ghanaian organic farm.

Using regenerative agriculture approaches, we produce high-quality moringa to feed local populations and moringa lovers worldwide.

With passion and dedication, we take our time to grow all products locally from our farms, so we can deliver the highest quality to individuals and companies.

Our mission

Our aim is to provide affordable and quality products to improve global food security.

By producing food sustainably, we can curb undernourishment and increase food availability. Nia OT is building long-term partnerships and contributing to development in our local communities.

We are interested in using moringa to reclaim degraded lands in rural Ghana.

Our work

We create and manage sustainable farms, providing food for today's people and thinking about tomorrow's generation whiles supporting and improving our farming communities.

In doing this, we use 5% of profits made to improve upon the living conditions of rural communities where we operate.

Our achievements

In 2019, we planted 700 moringa trees. They are now fully grown and are ready for harvest.

Thanks to this we have been able to create sustainable employment as an alternative to illegal mining and thus saving our environment.

Moreover, the planting of this moringa forest is contributing to climate adaptation and afforestation.

Our contributions to the local community

• Empowering Women, Our success and growth are directly invested in helping our local farming community stay educated. We help teenage mothers and single parents go back to school and stay in school to acquire new skills. "Educate a woman, Educate a nation"

• Solving unemployment, Each donation you make enables us to employ and give decent livelihoods to the community youth, offering them a sustainable alternative to illegal mining, reducing its impact on the environment. We fight unemployment in our rural community while regenerating the environment!

• Developing the community, We dedicate 5% of our annual net profit to support local Education, Healthcare, Sanitation, and Afforestation. We help the development of the communities, changing the lives of generations.

Our project

My project grows organic moringa with the vision of drying it and selling as fresh leaves and processing it also into moringa powder.

We want to grow into a big business where we can produce and process moringa together with herbs and spices into value-added products such as purée, energy drinks, and cosmetics.

Through this, we can provide employment and contribute to community development.

he fundraising is going to be used to construct a solar oven and a stainless steel mill together with materials such as packaging bags, gloves, boots, protective clothing to enable us to harvest our ready moringa for dry and processing. We are doing this because the cost involved in setting up a processing center is expensive and all our money has been spent on setting up the farm.

Your contribution to help us grow goes a long way, changing lives and regenerating communities.

The funds will help us construct a solar dryer and purchase a stainless-steel mill to process our moringa leaves.

I would be happy if you could contribute to this project and also share the project!
