Farm Partnership

Partner farmers... Grow food... Feed families!

Imagine trying to feed your family from what you can grow on half a hectare. You have few tools. No knowledge of modern farming methods. And extreme weather threatens what little you can produce. This is what farm families like Pontien’s face in Burundi right now. You can join a Burundi Farm Partnership and support 20 of a community’s most at-risk families for farm success, and security for their family.

You provide practical help to:

• grow enough food to feed their families
• store seeds to plant for next season
• sell surplus to buy household essentials
• expand and diversify their farm business.

Your partnership investment provides:

• certified seeds – beans & maize
• hoes, shovels, machetes, pick-axes, rakes
• wheelbarrows • fertiliser

You support training in modern farming:

• ploughing techniques
• seeding methods
• organo-mineral fertilisers
• pest and disease control
• market gardening
• composting and mulching
• reforestation

Together, you grow a ‘supermarket’ of crops:

• corn
• beans
• bananas
• plantains
• legumes
• cereals
• vegetables
• fruit
• coffee

Because your ALWS Burundi Farm Partnershipsupports a Farm Group of up to 20 families, your investment directly impacts more than 100 people! Your commitment, and their hard work, supports families to protect themselves from hunger and build an independent future. To find out more, simply call: 1300 763 407

“We have seen remarkable progress. Before, we ate once a day. Now, we eat three times a day. I want to buy goats and cows to have lots of organic manure. We want to ensure that our children can carry on their education to university." - Pontien
