Bruce Williams assists Moldovan farmers in being the first in the country to produce seedless watermelons.

CNFA designs and implements projects that have measurable, real world impact on farmers and agribusinesses of Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova. Our philosophy is that change is measured not only through increases in the number of people trained or in production volumes, but how those numbers translate into significant change in income while affecting lives and contributing to sustainable development.
Through its regular interactions with host organizations, CNFA’s field staff keeps track of progress and the impact of our work on individuals, businesses and industries that have participated in volunteer assistance in Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova. The table below lists some of the impact our volunteers have had from October 1, 2003 to September 30, 2007.
