About my charity

Self Help Africa
Self Help Africa is an international development agency that works at grassroots level tackling hunger and poverty in Africa.
 
We focus our efforts on farming and food production.  Why? - because 80% of Africans rely directly on small-scale farming for their survival, and because most land has the potential to grow much much more.
 
We help rural households to grow more food, to diversify farming activities, and to access markets for their produce.   We help communities to adapt to climate change, and help women - who do the bulk of the work on most small farms.
 
For over 25 years Self Help Africa has been working to with rural communities in Burkina Faso, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Togo, Uganda and Zambia.
 
We provide technical support, knowledge, and use a wide range of cost effective and innovative technologies to assist the people we work with to achieve a future that is free from hunger and poverty.
