Start your regular ripple today
Thank you for requesting your free wildflower seeds and Charles Dowding vegetable growing guide. We will be in touch by telephone soon to arrange delivery of your items so that you can get planting.
Will you start a regular ripple today so families in rural Africa can grow a brighter future from their gardens?
Every day families like Eugenie’s (pictured above) work hard to feed their children and grow a brighter future for them. Before joining a Ripple Effect project, severe drought followed by heavy rain meant she found it difficult to grow enough to eat and her family often went hungry.
Just £8 each month could support a family like Eugenie’s, with the seeds and the right gardening know-how they need to grow a wide variety of colourful fruit and vegetables to keep their children healthy and full of energy.
It’s not just Eugenie. There are many other families like hers who are battling the effects of the climate crisis and extreme poverty.
With Ripple Effect support, families quickly learn that however small a plot of land is, there is always hope for the future. Starting with kitchen gardens close to their home and climate-resilient seeds from Ripple Effect, Eugenie and her husband Felicien have been able to create a thriving vegetable garden. In fact, we know that with you by their side, farmers working with local Ripple Effect experts are able to double their crops from the same patch of land – how amazing is that!
Eugenie, Ripple Effect farmer
With ongoing access to vegetable seeds from a local nursery and training on how to add value and take surplus crops to market, families like Eugenie’s have plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables to sell. Her family is now healthy and no longer suffer frequently from preventable illness as they did before.
The difference your regular gift will make in gardens in rural Africa will continue to grow, just like your wildflower seeds! For every family we work with, three more families benefit too. As they learn more, grow more and sell more, the benefits are shared with their families, neighbours and communities creating a wave of change across rural Africa.
From the joy of harvesting their first crop of nutritious vegetables, to a thriving garden with enough produce to sell; your regular gift will support families like Eugenie’s every step of the way.
Families like hers will no longer go hungry, and they will be able to grow a brighter future for their children.
