We enable poor rural families in Asia and Africa to grow enough food so they don’t go hungry, to strengthen their voice so they can speak out against injustice and to earn enough money so they can find their feet.
We were founded in 1960 by the journalist Carol Martin, in response to the plight of Eastern European refugees. She was particularly concerned that families were suffering from malnutrition and was motivated to do something about it.
Find out about opportunities to join our small, committed and dynamic team. Job vacancies or internship opportunities will be listed and we also benefit from the support of a small number of volunteers who offer their time and expertise.
We have a small team in the UK and are governed by a board of trustees. We implement our in country projects through carefully selected local partners. Being small means our overhead costs are kept to a minimum and we remain responsive to community needs.
We work with Health Poverty Action because of our similar values, and the complementary nature of our work. They work with communities in 15 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America to improve health.
