Your Grain Helps Others Grow
As a farmer, you probably wish you could give your help direct to poor families overseas. No middle man. No ‘overheads’. Just your grain on a ship to Africa or Asia.
Sadly, transport costs, custom duties and good development practice make this an impractical and inefficient way to help.
The good news is you can now help farmer to farmer through ALWS!
It’s easy. Simply transfer a portion of your harvest to ALWS, using the National Grower Register (NGR) system. ALWS will sell the grain donated by you and other Australian farmers, and use the proceeds to directly help farmers in ALWS-supported projects in countries like Cambodia, Burundi and South Sudan.
Your grain will generate farm essentials like improved seed varieties, basic farm tools, Farmer Field Schools in agricultural techniques, farm-start loans for rice-farming or vegetable-growing or raising pigs/chickens/ducks/even fish!
ALWS Farmers for Farmers means your grain helps others grow!
What To Do Next
As you manage your grain in your bulk handler, simply transfer an amount to ALWS. You can do this at the silo using the ALWS NGR # (below) OR on-line using a ‘Warehouse to Warehouse’ grain transfer form from your bulk handler.
