Description

Growing crops locally not only helps feed families facing poverty, it also allows families to generate an income and farm in a way that cares for the environment. This gift can provide people with training, seeds and support to establish a garden or improve their livelihood in agriculture.

This gift includes:

  • A miniature popup garden to assemble.
  • A card with information card on how your gift helps.
  • A blank envelope for your card.
How your gift helps

Tearfund's partners understand their local communities, working at the grass roots to support people to reach their God-given potential. They look at the big picture – working together with communities on a range of activities to address poverty.

By purchasing from our Build a Village range, you’re contributing to our partners’ work in local communities and empowering people to reach their God-given potential.

As a little reminder of your donation, we’ve included a small building for you to put together at home, church or school. You can decorate it, set it up and share it with friends and family.
