Self Help Africa
Self Help Africa is an international development charity that works through agriculture to end hunger and poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. We don’t give hand-outs or aid, we provide families with the skills and knowledge that they need to grow more and earn more from their land. We currently work in eight African countries, supporting more than 300,000 rural poor households.
The problem
Alem's story
Alem, whose story you hear in the appeal, is one of 2,000
community-based seed-producers working with Self Help Africa in Ethiopia.
“I joined a seed-producer co-operative two years ago. I have
been producing and selling seed since then. The extra income has helped me to
provide for my family.”
Your impact
A donation of £65 to Self Help Africa can provide a community-based seed producer like Alem with quality seed and training for a year, helping more farming families to escape the cycle of hunger and poverty.
