Unlocking Rural Wealth through Inclusive Agricultural Financing
our story
ACAFIN History
ACAFIN was established in 2016 by ACADES Malawi as a revolving input loan fund designed to complement the efforts of ACADES of empowering smallholder farmers through the provision of input loans.
Over the past 8 years, as the financing needs of smallholder farmers evolved, ACAFIN also evolved and registered as a microfinance institution with the Government of Malawi and licensed by the Reserve Bank of Malawi in 2022. To date, ACAFIN has served over 16,000 farmers with input and equipment loans, enabling them to increase productivity, grow their agricultural incomes and improve their livelihoods
