Story

The earth is all we have, and we all rely on it to survive. Run the London Marathon in aid of Farm Africa and help more farmers across eastern Africa sustain profitable businesses despite the changing climate, creating brighter futures for entire communities.

I can't believe I actually did it. I'm not the sportiest of people so to run a marathon is remarkable. It wasn't the fastest of times but I really didn't mind about the time, I just wanted to finish. I had so much support along the way, which was fantastic! - Henry, virtual London Marathoner 2020

Today, almost half of the world's extreme poor live in sub-Saharan Africa. The vast majority work in agriculture.

Farm Africa reduces poverty in eastern Africa by helping farmers grow more, sell more and sell for more. Working in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Farm Africa is growing agriculture, protecting the environment and developing businesses in rural areas.

How your funds will change lives and the environment...

£11 - could provide training to one woman in high-quality coffee production.

£65 - could help five farmers use their natural resources sustainably - so their land can be farmed for generations to come.

£146 - could help provide a grain silo so that farmers can store their harvests safely.

£245 - could help provide two beehives, equipment and expertise to train one farmer with their beekeeping business in Ethiopia.

£729 - could help provide agricultural training in land preparation, planting, harvesting and processing crops for 60 farmers in Tanzania.

£1505 - could help provide a large greenhouse to grow food in harsh environments.
