This is a more friendly presentation of the same data, though note there’s a lag in the ONS data as it’s from ongoing sampling rather than self reported tests. At time of writing this is up to 30 July (next update 6 August):
iSDA is a mission-driven company bringing advanced technologies to the small farm sector in Africa. We harness the market in order to reach millions of farmers, and use the best science to maximize profitability for our clients and their farmers. Our current focus is to prove our business models through delivery of fertilizer advisory for low-income farmers, intermediated by local agents and based on technologies we have tested in Kenya and Ghana: handheld spectral soil scanners, and iSDAsoil, the first farm-level soil map of Africa.
We are looking for someone with diverse experience and a track record in the African private sector, a strong entrepreneurial spirit, and a history of building new business opportunities to deliver on our mission to improve the profitability of small-scale farmers.
We're a remote-first team, the position is Africa-based and will involve extensive travel.
From the intro it's a reference to a song lyric (which I wasn't familiar with):
While some were meant for sea, in tug-boats ’Round the shore’s knee,
(Milling with the sand,
and always coming back to land),
For others, up above
Is all they care to think of,
Up there with the birds and clouds, and Words don’t follow.

This was a pretty successful viral fundraising campaign in Norway - raised over 150k euro in the first 24 hours with 1.3 million youtube views. It's now over 13 million views so I expect has raised quite a bit more.
Source: not the OP, but I work for the UK arm of the same charity (SOS Children's Villages)
OP here. Full disclaimer - I work at SOS Children and this is one of our projects. It's a selection of Wikipedia articles which are child friendly and aligned with the UK national curriculum. There have been several releases since the first in 2005, and this is our biggest yet.
There's an online version and we also distribute offline copies (previously DVDs, this time it's too big, so USB sticks) for use in developing countries around the world. Impact is hard to estimate, but we think there are at least 5M active users around the world.
Pulling articles from Wikipedia and tidying them up for our use is a moving target, so we're still ironing out some formatting issues. If you have some time to spare visit an article on your favourite topic and let us know if you spot anything weird going on.
Happy to discuss any of the tech aspects if anyone's interested.
