Let's build a fairer world together
Two thirds of the world’s poorest people
live in Sub Saharan Africa
We work at the grassroots, providing struggling families with skills, knowledge and support, so they can build better futures for themselves and their families.
Our five programmes interlink, strengthening individuals and communities, enabling local people to find sustainable solutions to the many challenges they face.
Village Savings
There is huge demand for more of these groups, which empower women through self help. These groups build self confidence, create small businesses and build community. Above, Agnes tells us about her business.
Goat breeding
Improving the livelihoods of vulnerable women by providing a sustainable means of support. Above, you can hear what Jamilla says about what the project has meant for her.
Sustainable farming
Restoring soil fertility, increasing crop yields, improving food security and growing incomes through training in regenerative farming, including no-till, crop rotation and mulching
Village Health Teams
Training local volunteers to spread awareness of good health and hygiene practice, infant care and treatment of common minor illnesses. Volunteers provide a bridge between the village and the distant Health Centre
Child Nutrition
Malnutrition is common among the under fives in this area. This project teaches caregivers how to feed their families nutritious meals from foods they can grow themselves, and is making a big impact.
The opposite of poverty is not 'wealth',
the opposite of poverty is 'enough'
