Why we need you
As well as adapting to the ever-changing climate, farmers across eastern Africa are fighting against two devastating crises:
1. The biggest drought to date
2. The coronavirus pandemic
A survey undertaken in western Kenya confirmshowed that seven in ten farmers lost vital income because of the pandemic. Your sponsorship could help provide farmers with the knowledge and tools they need to build stronger, sustainable businesses that can thrive, even during a double crisis.
The future is uncertain, but together we are ready.
