Our Story
Techiman Area Small Holder Farmers and Micro Entrepreneurs Cooperative Society Limited (TASFAM) is a social enterprise dedicated to fighting poverty and hunger from the grassroots. Since 2016, we have supported smallholder farmers, youth, and women entrepreneurs with training, access to finance, market linkages, and business support.
TASFAM is a demand-led and recipient-owned local partnership as well as a cost-effective and flexible micro financing mechanism dedicated to fighting hunger, malnutrition, and poverty in Ghana. In line with Sustainable Development Goal 1 and 2, TASFAM supports resilient and sustainable agriculture that benefits and empowers poor and vulnerable smallholder farmers, particularly women, youth and Micro-Entrepreneurs. TASFAM pools development assistance resources and uses a common framework to selectively allocate them to where they are most needed, most effective, and most catalytic in line with community priorities and private sector opportunities.
Small Holder Farmers and Micro Entrepreneurs have been the backbone of the Ghana Socio-economic development. TASFAM over the years provided technical and financial assistance to these Small Holder Farmers and Micro Entrepreneurs and individuals to expand their Business. Established in 2016, TASFAM has provided Trainings and microfinance schemes to start-ups and small businesses with fast, easy and accessibility of funds to grow and expand their businesses.
