We invest only in projects:

- which have clear support from the proposed beneficiaries
- in conjunction with recognised local NGOs who have the trust and confidence of the producer communities we trade with
- which support sustainable agriculture, production infrastructure and producer community capacity-building and social development
- which committee members of the Fund are familiar with & confident about, based on their direct on-the-ground experience and long term relationships with the communities we support
- which submit to regular rigorous auditing for financial probity & effectiveness
