Our work

As the climate becomes increasingly dry and traditional crops fail to yield enough for communities’ needs, our partners are helping small-scale farmers to exploit new agricultural methods such as market gardening and soil conservation. We’re also influencing government policy on climate change, running HIV awareness and prevention programmes and ensuring local government meets the population’s needs.
