Rikolto & Humundi Campaign: 30 Years of Shared Impact

Join us and multiply your impact

Back to our roots, but united for the future. Rikolto & Humundi were among the first to believe in Alterfin’s mission. Now, 30 years after, we are joining forces once again to amplify our impact and support farmers and entrepreneurs around the world.

WHY NOW?

Because international solidarity is being seriously challenged – political leaders are questioning its value, and budgets are being redirected.

However, our priorities remain unchanged.

We are here to support people and the planet.

In the face of adversity, we stand together to strengthen our impact. Because we believe that collective action is the best way to make a difference.

What about you?

ALTERFIN IN A NUTSHELL

If you support Rikolto or Humundi, you’re familiar with the idea of making a donation.

With Alterfin, it works differently.  When you become a cooperative member of Alterfin, you buy shares (each costing €62.50). You’re not donating money – you’re investing it.

Alterfin uses that capital to finance small-scale agricultural businesses and microfinance institutions around the world.

Instead of letting your savings sit idle in a bank account, you make them work for a just cause:

You give farmers and small entrepreneurs the opportunity to invest in their own futures.

A true win-win.

Become a co-op member at Alterfin between 16 July and 30 September 2025 and make your contribution go even further.

For every share you buy (€62.50), Alterfin will donate €1 to the partner NGO of your choiceRikolto or Humundi.

One share in Alterfin opens doors for two small-scale farmers or entrepreneurs.  

Every euro donated to Rikolto or Humundi will further strengthen their efforts on the ground.

When signing up, don't forget to indicate how you heard about Alterfin (choose “Rikolto” or “Humundi”).

That way, we’ll know where to send the donation linked to your shares.

Investing with Purpose

Alterfin is an investment that makes sense, both in the head and the heart. The biggest return is knowing that so many farmers – men and women – can now save and invest themselves.

The majority of Belgians still believe it’s important to support development cooperation, and climate remains one of their top concerns. That’s why making a donation or choosing to invest your money differently, today, is a true act of resistance.
