A future where soil revitalization, environmental sustainability, and agricultural productivity are harmoniously integrated to support thriving farming communities in Rubavu, Rwanda.
To enhance soil revitalization, prevent deforestation, and boost agricultural productivity by producing high-quality vermicompost (organic fertilizer) and providing certified Irish potato seeds to farmers.
Hand in Hand for Sustainable Agriculture (HIHSA) Ltd is dedicated to enhancing soil revitalization, preventing deforestation, and boosting agricultural productivity. It achieves these goals by providing vermicompost (organic fertilizer) and certified Irish potato seeds to farmers. Additionally, HIHSA assists smallholder farmers with planting adaptable fruit trees on their croplands and collaborates with development partners to plant trees in areas damaged by mining activities, as well as in areas prone to floods and erosion. Furthermore, the organization offers vegetable greenhouses, inputs, and best practice training to vulnerable young single mothers, supporting them in becoming self-reliant.
Our vermicompost enriches soil fertility, enhances plant growth, and boosts crop yields while promoting sustainable farming practices. Ideal for farmers and gardeners seeking a natural alternative to chemical fertilizers, our vermicompost is your key to a greener future.

Before joining Hand In Hand for Sustainable Agriculture, finding daily wage employment was a challenge. Sometimes, I would spend an entire month without work, which severely impacted the well-being of my family and me. Fortunately, I found an opportunity with this company, working daily in the vermicomposting process. This job has provided me with the financial stability to feed my family, pay for Mutuelle de Santé (medical insurance), purchase clothing for my family and myself, and meet other basic needs.

As a smallholder farmer, I was heavily dependent on costly chemical fertilizers, which over time depleted my soil’s health, making it difficult to achieve good yields without continuous application. However, since using vermicompost from HIHSA, I’ve seen a significant improvement in my crop yields. I fervently hope that many more farmers can benefit from this sustainable solution
Smallholder farmer
I was among the street vendors who sourced agricultural products on credit and sold them locally and in the DRC, facing the risk of losing my products and being imprisoned within my own country. Additionally, there were high risks of being robbed, encountering gender-based violence, imprisonment, and in extreme cases, death while in the DRC. I was also afraid that I might be coerced into joining rebel groups in the DRC due to my youth and vulnerability.
With the help of HIHSA, many of my colleagues and I are now earning daily wages to cover our bills, including sourcing products from our vegetable greenhouses at reasonable prices and trading them formally. We were also provided financial literacy training and are now saving and using loans from our VSLAs.
