Please help farmers cope with the Fall Armyworm crisis.<\/h4>\n

Self Help Africa are providing farming families in sub-Saharan Africa with a pathway out of crisis, as a devastating pest destroys entire harvests.<\/p>\n

Invasive Fall Armyworm caterpillars have made dramatic advances across the region, stripping maize fields bare before farmers can harvest their crops, destroying the food and source of income they rely on. The small, yet devastasting worm has left smallholder farmers – including 32-year-old Patricia Twibe in Malawi – \u00a0fighting for their survival.<\/p>\n

This crisis is just the most recent example of the immense challenges faced by small holder farmers everyday across the region.<\/p>\n

With support from Self Help Africa, Patricia and her husband have started doing different work on their farm \u2013 growing sweet potatoes along their staple maize crop, and breeding chickens and goats. It\u2019s all about working together, building resilience and long-term solutions to help withstand disasters.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

As the Fall Armyworm continues to wreak havoc, the resilience that Patricia and her family have built has become essential for their survival. The pest has ruined their maize crop, but they now have other resources to cope.<\/p>\n

However many thousands of other farming families will be left on the brink of ruin, because they have nothing else to fall back on. This latest disaster will hit them very hard.<\/p>\n

In these fragile circumstances, your support today can help a family build the resilience to better cope with a crisis like this one.\u00a0 Please give what you can.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

stages of resilience<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Stage 1<\/h4>

Growing just one
\ncrop leaves families
\nat the mercy of a
\ndisaster like the
\nFall Armyworm, or
\ndrought that can
\ndestroy their entire
\nfood supply.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Stage 2<\/h4>

New crops and
\nfarming techniques
\nspread risk. Farmers
\nmay still struggle,
\nbut growing different
\ncrops for use and
\nsale helps reduce the
\nimpact of disasters.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Stage 3<\/h4>

Food, cash crops
\nand livestock
\nprovides families
\nwith opportunities to
\nrun their small farms
\nas businesses, with
\nfall back options if a
\nnew crisis arises.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
