Story
The earth is all we have, and we all rely on it to survive. Run the London Marathon in aid of Farm Africa and help more farmers across eastern Africa sustain profitable businesses despite the changing climate, creating brighter futures for entire communities.
I can't believe I actually did it. I'm not the sportiest of people so to run a marathon is remarkable. It wasn't the fastest of times but I really didn't mind about the time, I just wanted to finish. I had so much support along the way, which was fantastic! - Henry, virtual London Marathoner 2020
Today, almost half of the world's extreme poor live in sub-Saharan Africa. The vast majority work in agriculture.
Farm Africa reduces poverty in eastern Africa by helping farmers grow more, sell more and sell for more. Working in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Farm Africa is growing agriculture, protecting the environment and developing businesses in rural areas.
