Explore the first FarmerAI in Malawi
This app was built for Anna. When a cyclone damaged her soybean field in Malawi, she panicked. How could she salvage her crop to feed her family? She had no help in sight, and her family’s survival on the line. But today is different. Now, Anna has FarmerAI—a powerful tool right in her pocket. With expert, real-time guidance at her fingertips and in her local language, she can troubleshoot problems, protect her harvest, secure her family’s future, and earn more income—all with just a few taps on her phone.

Bringing the power of AI to help end extreme poverty
Since 1971, we’ve been creating solutions for people living on less than $2 per day so they can earn an income, send their children to school, and break the cycle of poverty. For this group, isolation and literacy remain significant barriers. But it’s finally possible to connect instantly to Opportunity’s resources—and do so through voice and images. By harnessing the power of AI, we’re reimagining our service model to put a vital resource in the hands of the lowest-income communities in the world and exponentially increase the number of lives we impact. See how we’re doing it.
