I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A REGULAR DONATION TO SELF HELP AFRICA

Sub-Saharan Africa is the poorest region in the world.  £8

Close to 70% of its people rely on small farms for their survival. Inadequate farming practices, hand tools, harsh climates and lack of support mean that most farms produce just a fraction of their potential.

Bank/Building Society

Address

Increasing yields, diversifying crops, better farming practices, access to credit, gender equality, and assistance with enterprise creation are vital to ending poverty in Africa.

AGRICULTURE & NUTRITION

COOPERATIVES

Over 70% of Africa’s poorest people live on small farms with potential to grow much more.

Working together as a cooperative means farmers can access new markets and earn a better income from their produce.

GENDER

MICROFINANCE

Women do most of the work, yet receive only a fraction of the available support. If women received the same support, yields would increase 20–30%.

Microfinance projects give impoverished rural families access to small loans to improve their farms, so they can grow, eat and sell more.

CLIMATE CHANGE

ENTERPRISE

The people least responsible for climate change are those who are most affected by global warming.

Small businesses enable households to earn a vital alternative source of income that allows them to send children to school and more.

A Gift Aid declaration allows Self Help Africa to claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give. By ticking this box, I confirm that I am a UK taxpayer and would like Self Help Africa to claim back the tax on this donation and any donations I make in future, or have made in the past four years. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference.
