Hello everyone- sorry its taken so long to say a HEARTY THANK YOU to all of you for the wonderful donations - over R12000 since March 09 from 18 people. I am not allowed to mention names here unless you specifically say I can, but you all know who you are are!
These funds keep at least 70 micro-farmers supported with on-site training, resource supply, mentorship and even marketing help, for one month. Or put another way, your collective R12000 supports one micro-farmer with all of the above for 70 months!!
Remember that all farmers need special assistance. American and European commercial farmers get huge subsidies, otherwise they would collapse and no-one would have food.
So your help to Abalimi assists scores of emerging micro-farmers to learn to feed their families and their communities, who otherwise cannot get fresh food every day. And the food they grow and eat is top quality organic, so it makes people strong and healthy at the same time as nice and full!!
I attach a couple of new articles for your to read. Enjoy!!
All the best. Rob Small
