IRISH AID
working together with
Self Help Africa<\/span><\/h2>

At Self Help Africa, our vision is for sustainable livelihoods and healthy lives for all in a changing climate.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

But we can\u2019t achieve this on our own. Meaningful partnership is central to our approach. The work of Self Help Africa is made possible in large part thanks to backing received from Irish Aid<\/a>. Together, we are lifting hundreds of thousands of rural poor farming families out of hunger, malnutrition and extreme poverty.<\/p>\n

Irish Aid is the Irish Government's programme for overseas development. The work of Irish Aid is funded by Irish taxpayers through a proportion of Gross National Income (GNI) on Official Development Assistance (ODA).\u00a0 Irish Aid's work is guided by policies - including the Africa Strategy to 2025<\/a> - which put the fight against global hunger and poverty at the heart of Ireland's foreign policy.<\/p>\n

This global fight is one that Self Help Africa are proud to be part of - reaching the furthest behind first in our work. Thanks to Irish Aid's support, we are working with hundreds of thousands of small-scale farmers to change the lives of their families.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Irish Aid funding is supporting the implementation of ten projects in<\/strong> seven countries -\u00a0<\/strong>Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, The Gambia, Kenya, Malawi, Uganda and Zambia.<\/p>\n

Irish Aid also enables Self Help Africa to implement a Development Education<\/a> programme that reaches more than 100 post-primary schools, and is currently supporting teacher training, and introducing Development Education to the community and adult sectors.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
