On Sunday 21 April 2024, I'm running my first ever London Marathon - 26.2 miles to raise much needed funds for Farm Africa.

Today, over 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.

Here's how your donation could help:

£5 could help to buy 10kg of forage seeds, so that farmers can grow food for their livestock.

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

£32 could help to pay for a farmer to hire help to bring in his harvest.

£76 could help to provide two farmers with the means to start a beekeeping business.

Thank you for your support!
