Traidcraft Bulletin - June 2021

Page 14

Not long left to double your difference It’s safe to say that the last three months of the Regenerators Appeal have flown by- and now there’s only 5 days left to make a donation that’ll be matched by the UK government to help those on the front line of the climate crisis. Donate to The Regenerators Appeal before 7th June 2021 and the UK government will double your gift to help the most vulnerable stand strong in the face of climate change. People like Issa. “In my time when I was growing up, these changes had not happened. Back then the seasons went through without any problem. People here knew exactly what to do because the weather was stable.” But the certainty of Issa’s childhood is long gone. 14 traidcraftshop.co.uk

Climate change means that the coastal region’s once predictable weather is now erratic, and harvests have suffered. An unpredictable cycle of floods and droughts mean that farming in his community barely turns a profit. Issa told us: “The last rainy season, there was a lot of water and the river flooded. Some of the villagers lost their animals and their houses were destroyed - we had to find a boat to rescue them.” Climate change is happening right now, and it’s hitting the most vulnerable the hardest. Thank you so much if you've already supported to the Regenerators appeal by donating, holding a Big Brew, walking or running 100km in April, sharing the appeal amongst your networks and all the many, many creative ways in which you’ve been making the world of difference. Your support will be matched by the UK government and make twice the difference to people on the front line of climate change. If you would like to give again, you have until 7th June to get your donation doubled by the UK government.
