Irish farmers have supported Self Help Africa’s Grow Fund since the mid-1980s.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through co-operative creamery payments, dairy farmer suppliers to nearly 20 Irish creameries, make regular donations to Self Help Africa.<\/p>\n

This money has been used to plant trees, provide seeds, construct ponds and boreholes, develop sustainable agricultural systems, and support a broad range of activities designed to improve yields, diversify crop production, and help rural African communities to make the most of the land that they have available.<\/p>\n

Since 1988, more than 20 million tree seedlings have been planted, a figure which is set to more than double in the coming four years.<\/p>\n

New food seed varieties have been introduced, close links forged with agricultural research institutes in all of the countries where we work, and technologies appropriate to small-holding African farmers are being rolled out and implemented on an ongoing basis.
\nSchools and health clinics have also been constructed, and vital training provided in a whole host of areas, so that Africans can work their way to a future that is free from famine, aid dependence and need.<\/p>\n
