Story

Our rice donation scheme involves the purchase and personal delivery of 50KG bags of rice to extremely deprived families in The Gambia.

Over the last few years, we've managed to deliver over 4000KG of rice within villages in the South of The Gambia. Quite often, families never know where their next meal is coming from and buying a bag of rice can feed a large family for 1-2 months!

Being able to eat every day is a luxury within this poverty ridden country and it is common for families to go without food for long periods of time. Rice donations are not a simple task as a lot of the families are located in remote villages and our little car struggles to reach them. All of the families we deliver rice to are very needy and the gratitude expressed is overwhelming. Some have been so grateful they cried at everyones generosity.This is a really meaningful and very beneficial gift for a family.

We buy the bags ourselves before visiting the school and villages, and go to the individual compounds to deliver the rice to the family, where it's greatly appreciated.

One bag costs just £25! Please help us feed a family today :D
