Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Judith Jacobs, SNV Overall Lead of the #PowerForFoodPartnership, to Rwanda. This visit convened partners & stakeholders to reflect on progress, deepen collaboration, and advance systemic change in Rwanda's agrifood systems.

This 3,400-acre offgrid campus in Rwanda 🇷🇼 was built by 2,500 people from the earth beneath it. Most people think building with earth means small, temporary, or weak. This is a 2-storey, 69-building campus. Built with rammed earth and earth blocks made from soil dug on site, strengthened to last and resist earthquakes. Here is what that looks like: • No artificial lighting during the day • Thick walls that regulate temperature • Mostly naturally ventilated spaces • Runs entirely on solar, producing 1.5MW of power • Wastewater is treated and reused for irrigation But the architecture goes beyond performance. • 90% of the workforce was local • 96% of materials were sourced within Rwanda • 90% of the budget stayed within 500 miles of the site • Stone from local quarries reduced concrete use. • Roofs were built with timber and terracotta tiles fired using agricultural waste. This is not just sustainable design. It is economic design. It is design that works with nature. It is design shaped by people and place. Architecture that builds with people, not just for them. Local materials are not a limitation. They scale. They perform. They work. Project: Rwanda Institute for Conservation Agriculture (RICA) 📍 Bugesera District, Rwanda Architects: MASS Design Group

Throughout this week, we've celebrated women, and one truth stands out: investing in women farmers is both fair and smart. When women have equal access to resources, agricultural productivity grows, and communities become more resilient. #Givetogain #happywomensday2026 #IWD

Happy International Women's Day! #GiveToGain From the farm to the boardroom, women are at the heart of everything we do at SNV Rwanda. Today we celebrate you and the communities you're helping transform. #GiveToGain #IWD2026 #WomenInDevelopment #farmers #SNVRwanda

Ahead of #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate women proving that intentional inclusion builds resilience. “I am no longer just someone who is fed, I am someone who feeds.” Donathile. Supported by the YEA-R program and our consortium partners in Tag made it possible. ##GivetoGain

As we approach #InternationalWomensDay2026 we're shining light on women transforming agriculture from the ground up. #GiveToGain Through the support from the Farm to Market Alliance project implemented by @SNVRwanda and funded by @WFP , the cooperative now supplies nearby schools
