About Warc
Our Vision & Missions
At Warc Africa, we envision a future where Africa nourishes the world while its farmers become the stewards of its fertile soils. Our mission is straightforward: to uplift farmers from poverty through regenerative farming practices. We've already positively impacted the lives of more than 100,000 people, increasing their income and improving their livelihoods. Our rapid growth has created thousands of rural jobs and facilitated the movement of tens of thousands of tons of crops to become food for the country.
But we’re just getting started. Our vision extends across sub-Saharan Africa, moving us beyond Ghana and West Africa, where we aim to empower one million farmers, helping them generate hundreds of millions of dollars while becoming climate heroes in the process.
We’ve already laid the foundation and are now looking for passionate individuals to join us on this transformative journey in Uganda!
Our Roots & Reach:
Born from hands-on experience, Warc Africa has grown into a diverse team of 250 full-time employees from 16 countries. In Ghana's Upper West Region, we serve 30,000 farmers, have a footprint in Sierra Leone, a new venture in Uganda, and our eyes across the continent. Our 100 female-run Trading Hubs put us closer to the farmer than anyone else - allowing us to provide farmers with vital resources and markets. We’re now ready to solve problems for Farmers in Uganda and transform the way they are served. Therefore, we are now looking for a highly motivated and experienced person to join our Team.
