Lets turn the tables on

climate change

You can help farmers adapt to the effects of climate change and succeed. It all starts with some tiny seeds….

Farming is tough. The changing climate is making it even harder.

Many people around the world rely on farming for food and income. But extreme weather patterns are destroying people like Pooja’s crops, and their livelihoods.

What would it take for Pooja to succeed?

An ingenious combination of small things that would make a big difference. A proven approach perfected in partnership with other farming communities all around the world.

And it all starts with tiny-but-powerful seed varieties, which would make her crops more resilient to new weather patterns. Solar-power could water her fields during dry periods. Training in new farming techniques could mean bigger harvests – enough to feed her family, with extra to sell. Vegetable cable cars could move her produce to market in minutes, not hours. New business skills would bring opportunities to earn more. And with a greater say in community decision making, women like Pooja could shine.

JOIN THE TEAM MAKING CHANGE HAPPEN

We believe in possible

We know that ingenuity can tackle the world’s toughest problems. We’ve worked with communities to prove it’s possible to:

  • Turn desert into lush fields in Sudan, so farmers can thrive despite climate change
  • Replant areas of rainforest in Peru, so coffee growers can succeed sustainably
  • Turn plastic waste into fuel in Bangladesh, cleaning up slums and rivers and creating jobs

It’s what we’ve been doing for over 50 years.

But we need to do more

People living in poor communities have never faced such a tough reality.

  • Climate change has caused an increase in devastating floods, storms and landslides. We can help communities avoid disaster.
  • Permanent changes to temperature and rainfall are making farming almost impossible. We can help farmers adapt and thrive.
  • The long term impact of coronavirus is pushing millions deeper into poverty. We can help create jobs, improve incomes and boost businesses.

You support will help make this possible.

Your gift will go further than you imagine

Regular support through monthly giving will:

  • Provide us with the predictable income we need to embark on ambitious long-term projects with communities around the world.
  • Allow us to pioneer innovative approaches that can be replicated elsewhere, by other development groups and governments.
  • Enable us to unlock grants from large donors, such as the UK Government and UN bodies.
