review 1: I had to keep reminding myself that this wasn't fiction. We seem so far away, so distanced from thoughts like these and issues that go on outside of our bubbles. This book has the power to illicit changes on macro and micro levels. By teaching these families how to farm and loaning them what they need, this company is managing to change people's lives, and save them. An excellent eye-opener for all.
review 2: This is a really good introduction to the work that One Acre Fund does and I'm happy to have learned about the organization. It ends up feeling a bit one-sided because you don't hear too much about all the things that could potentially go wrong, but you hear some pretty amazing stories about these small Kenyan farmers trying to make a better life for thems... moreelves and their children. The book was written very recently, but already One Acre has expanded in size and it would be great to continue hearing about the future efforts and successes of the farmers profiled in the book. I'd love to be able to chart their progress over a longer term. less
