KickStart International

KickStart International is a finance-focused startup on a mission to combat poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa. With its #IrrigateAfrica slogan, the company aims to empower rural farmers and provide them with the tools necessary to transform their lives. Founded in 1991 and headquartered in the United States, KickStart mass markets affordable, human-powered irrigation pumps known as the MoneyMaker brand, allowing smallholder farmers to transition from rain-fed agriculture to irrigated farming. These pumps, priced at $35 and $100 USD, enable year-round crop growth, opening new income-generating opportunities for farmers. By addressing the root cause of poverty – lack of income – KickStart enables farmers to access food, water, education, and healthcare, lifting themselves out of poverty sustainably.
