Annual report: our biggest year yet (2022-23)

This year we’ve reached more people than ever before – 1.38 million – and we couldn’t have done it without you.

Thanks to you, 1.38 million people in rural Africa have taken part in projects that help them adapt to the climate crisis, regenerate tired land, boost food security and give them the tools to transform their own lives for the better.

Because of your generosity, hundreds of thousands of women have gone through gender training with their families, helping to share workloads and reduce intimate partner violence.

Those same women have been supported to start small agribusinesses, which provide essential products and services to their communities whilst also giving them vital financial independence, and the ability to pay for medical care and their children’s schooling.

172,500 young people have been supported to access jobs, and many have been linked with artisans so they can learn the skills to create their own businesses.

19,175 refugees in Uganda have taken part in Ripple Effect projects, helping them to connect with their host communities and build a reliable income through farming the land they have. 

The farmers we work alongside are resourceful and resilient. Thanks to your generous support, we can equip them with the knowledge, skills and resources to really change their lives, building a stronger, more confident rural Africa.
