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 believe that real and lasting change can only be achieved by enabling and empowering local people, so that they have the tools and training to practice climate smart agriculture, improve the food and nutrition security of their families and to access markets and fair prices for their produce.

The problem

The problem
In rural Africa, the people least responsible for climate change are feeling its worst effects. Africa’s women farmers are locked in a struggle to provide for their families in the face of hotter, drier and more unpredictable weather conditions.

Lina’s Story

Lina’s Story
We’re helping women like Lina - whose story you hear in the appeal - to adapt and diversify their farming, to mitigate the effects of a changing climate and ensure a future for food production in Africa.

Your Impact

Your Impact
A donation of £60 could provide a family like Lina’s with a goat, a clutch of chicks and drought tolerant varieties of seed, that would enable them to diversify their farming and become more resilient.
