We support initiatives which alleviate poverty and bring dignity to the poor and vulnerable and which empower people to bring about change and transformation in their own communities and nations. We are teaching people to feed their families by training them in Foundations for Farming and are also enabling hundreds of children to attend school by providing uniforms and school kits.
