Hi all - I am taking myself out of my comfort zone and into the glitter and onto the dancefloor! Ill be dancing in Strictly for Africa on Saturday 13th May  - raising money for Gorta Self Help Africa as they assist farming communities combat the food crises in East Africa which has been deemed the worlds largest humanitarian crises. Gorta Self Help Africa's interventions are cutting edge - they are not about hand-outs, but believe in giving beneficiaries a hand up. It makes most sense to invest in agricultural communities in Africa  - it enables people to work their way out of poverty. It is a simple format - help a household become food secure by smart farming and then crucially assist with access to markets - selling surplus produce will mean an income, which in turn will mean access to education & health care and breaking the cycle of poverty. Id really appreciate it if you could make a donation. Thank you - Claire Cronin.

Self Help Africa is dedicated to ending hunger and poverty in rural Africa.
