Helping-Hand

An annual appeal to support international Salvation Army projects responding to poverty and injustice.

Family farmers around the world are on the frontline of the climate crisis, working hard to nurture the land they depend on in the face of unpredictable rainfall, severe drought and extreme weather events. 

However, the traditional farming methods they have relied on are no longer yielding enough food to live on.

Money raised for the 2025 Helping-Hand Appeal will support international food security projects.

• £15 could support a farmer with the cost of seeds for one year
• £150 could buy basic tools and materials (such as hoes and string) for ten farmers
• £1,500 could cover the cost of running the conservation agriculture training course for six months.

Nurturing land and harvesting hope in Zimbabwe

As one of the project coordinators of The Salvation Army’s Raising Champion Farmers project in northern Zimbabwe, Machanzi is working alongside family farmers to cultivate change.

300 farmers from across three divisions in the Zimbabwe Territory have received training in conservation agriculture to help them build a more sustainable future for themselves and their communities. It’s not only about growing food – it’s about nurturing land and harvesting hope.
