Curry for Change
Support poor farmers to achieve a future free from hunger – cook up a Curry in aid of Find your Feet!
As the financial crisis deepens, the world food crisis is in danger of being forgotten. With nearly 100 million people already going hungry, it is essential that this does not happen.
However ‘quick fix’ solutions to the food crisis that look to increase food production ‘at any cost’ are unlikely to offer those most affected by the food crisis the opportunity to attain lasting freedom from hunger.
For the past 60 years Find Your Feet has been working with small-scale farmers in developing countries.
Our experience has shown us that, for the people we work with, farming is about far more than the production of food. It’s about stewardship of the land. It’s about stimulating the growth of local economy. It’s about farmers feeling that they have a voice in their community and that they have skills to offer in building a better future for that community.
By the end of 2009 Find Your Feet aims to train 21,400 farmers in Malawi and India in farming practices that build on their knowledge and skills, that enable them to feed their families all year round and that conserve the natural resources on which their future food security depends.
We invite you to join us in achieving this goal by holding a Curry evening in support of our work over Christmas or New Year. We will provide you with a great fundraising pack and all the support you need to make your evening as fun and easy as possible.
