Saving lives
We are on a mission to Malawi, one of Africa's poorest nations. Our mission is to establish an organic training farm, which will provide food and jobs. A sustainable, long term vision. But, a food crisis is threatening the villages around us. Even at this start of dry season, approx. 15.000 families in our area (Balaka) are threatened with severe food shortages. We would really love to help out providing mais to the families surrounding our farm. Right now prices are relatively low, but prices will soar in the coming months. Would you help us saving the lives of these people, while we are working towards a sustainable solution?
NB. We work with a locally registered NGO, as well as with the Charity Hands Foundation, based in the Netherlands.
Levens redden (Dutch)
We zijn op een missie in Malawi, een van de armste landen van Afrika. Onze missie is het opzetten van een biologische trainingsboerderij, die voor voedsel en banen zal zorgen. Een duurzame, lange termijn visie. Maar een voedselcrisis bedreigt de dorpen om ons heen. Zelfs aan het begin van het droge seizoen, worden ca. 15.000 gezinnen in onze omgeving (Balaka) bedreigd met voedseltekorten. We willen heel graag helpen met het verstrekken van mais aan de families rondom onze boerderij. Op dit moment zijn de prijzen relatief laag, maar de prijzen zullen de komende maanden stijgen. Zou je ons kunnen helpen de levens van deze mensen te redden, terwijl we werken aan een duurzame oplossing?

Update posted by Christian Slager at 12:32 pmWith the small % of money raised we have been able to purchase good quality mais at an honest price. Temperatures are soaring now to 35-38 Celsius and the fields are dry and empty. Prices are starting to rise now. We hold our hearts for the people surrounding us. At

Update posted by Christian Slager at 11:32 amAs you can see from the image below a crisis may emerge in our area. Malawians are used to dealing with shortages, but natural resources are depleted a a fast pace. In our area trees are cut up to the boundaries or our community farm. The only ones left are
