About Lima-Plus - Our Mission & Team

Geoffrey Kanyarwanda, Founder of Lima-Plus

Meet Geoffrey Kanyarwanda

Founder & Executive Director

Geoffrey Kanyarwanda grew up in rural Uganda, witnessing firsthand the challenges that smallholder farmers face in an increasingly unpredictable climate. His grandmother, a small-scale farmer, struggled to maintain consistent yields as weather patterns became more erratic, a reality that shaped Geoffreys passion for climate resilience.

"I saw how climate change was not just an environmental issue, but a human one," Geoffrey reflects. "It was affecting the very people who feed our nation, yet they had limited access to the tools and knowledge needed to adapt."

With a strong background in microfinance, rural farmer engagement, and financial inclusion, Geoffrey founded Lima-Plus to bridge the gap between climate resilience and accessible digital tools for smallholder farmers. His vision is to build a platform that equips rural communities with climate insights, adaptive agronomy guidance, and climate-smart market

Lima-Plus aims to equip smallholder farmers with climate intelligence, adaptive agronomy guidance, and climate-smart market connections to help them build resilience and thrive despite increasing climate risks.
