I have decided this is a wonderful charity that works worldwide to set up intelligent and imaginative practical projects that ensure a long term solution to poverty and environmental problems by empowering people especially women for a better future, rather than use a short term cash approach.

I am in training to run the Cambridge Town and Gown 10K on October 16th. My main obstacles have been female undercarriage issues (!) and too many holidays lately. I have got up to 7.5K and am confident of finally reaching the distance just in time. Your support will really really help me achieve this and more important help what I think is a really important cause. I thank you very much indeed in advance.

HELP FARMERS LIKE ALFRED BEAT POVERTY

Families in Gwanda are struggling to feed themselves from the food they grow on their farmland. Because of climate change, devastating droughts and flooding have become more frequent in the region. Crops fail and people have to rely on food aid to fend off starvation. Alfred is a 61 year-old farmer who lives in Gwanda. A clever combination of inexpensive solutions have helped him and his grandchildren beat poverty.
