About Techno Serve:

Everyone deserves the opportunity to build a better future. This simple idea has been at the heart of Techno Serve’s work around the world for over 50 years. Techno Serve is a pioneer in leveraging the power of business and markets to create sustainable pathways out of poverty.

The low-income communities in which we work are full of enterprising people. Their small-scale farms and businesses are the keys to economic development. But they face many challenges: low literacy, lack of access to jobs and markets, unpredictable political dynamics and, increasingly, the effects of climate change. For many women and young people, the challenges are even more daunting. Working with Techno Serve staff, people around the world are lifting themselves out of poverty.

The results are impactful: when incomes increase and living conditions for families get better, they are able to access health care and education previously out of reach.
