The Story Behind AgroLend
AgroLend is an initiative started by 14 year old Saharsh Marri in 2023 as part of the 1M1B Purpose Academy. This initiative was started to solve a glaring problem within the farmer community, which is the fact that landless farmers cannot get easy access to loans with a lower interest rate. They have to resort to taking loans with interests rates of 25% - 30%! Our mission is to allow as many farmers as possible easy access to better loans.
About the Creator
Saharsh is an aspiring student who is currently based in Southern India. He hopes to get into an Ivy League college for computer science one day. He is also part of The Purpose Academy by 1M1B. Through this program, he started AgroLend to solve a problem.
To make farmers' lives easier
Our mission is to connect 50 villages worth of landless farmers in parts of Southern India to money lenders and banks who can provide these farmers with low-interest loans. Getting easy access to good loans in some parts of India is not possible in some cases. We will bridge that gap with AgroLend. You can donate to us here, we would greatly appreciate any help as it would help us achieve our goal much faster.
