Description

Around the globe, hunger – driven largely by conflict and economic and climate shocks – is continuing to rise. More than 700 million people around the world know the personal, daily ache of chronic hunger. Help provide healthy, nourishing food with this gift.

How your gift helps

Around the world, conflict and climate shocks are driving millions into acute food insecurity. Tearfund’s partners are restoring health and livelihoods in communities hit hard by hunger. By choosing this gift, you’re making a valuable contribution to this work.

Odit and Henok are farmers and parents to a healthy son in Papua. This is great news, as tough conditions in their area have made families vulnerable to poverty and malnutrition.

Initially Odit and Henok only grew sweet potato, however with the support of Tearfund’s local partner, Yasera, they have learnt about the importance of a nutrient rich diet and with the gift of seeds are growing a variety of vegetables to eat and sell towards a hope filled future.
