Story
I'm raising money for Farmers Overseas Action Group (FOAG) by running the Forest of Dean half marathon! https://www.foag.org/home
The charity has worked for many years in Uganda, supporting farmers and disadvantaged children. The money I raise will go towards an initiative to help 4 children's centres, run by amazing sisters, learn to grow their own maize and beans to achieve essential food security. The children's centres look after orphans and disadvantaged kids. To work towards sustainability, the methods used will enhance soil fertility not deplete it, a common problem amongst farmers the world over.
Here is some more information written by my Aunty and Uncle who have been members of FOAG and recently went to Uganda. They're now co-ordinating the project.
