£6 for a school uniform

£10 for improved farming skills

In the dry, rocky Tigray region of Ethiopia, it can be hard to grow enough to eat. When the rains fail, crops die and people go hungry. Almaz's family were given agricultural training to help them get the most from their land so that they can avoid hunger.

£10 to stock a fish farm

£12 to help care for children in Uganda

When Santo's parents were killed, he was left to look after his four younger brothers - not an easy task when you're 14 years old and living in a war zone. SCIAF funding paid for school materials and other essentials to help his family work towards a better life.

£20 to keep crops alive

Climate change caused severe drought in Maryelis's village. Crops were dying and families were going hungry. With your help, SCIAF is giving communities in Latin America agricultural training so that they can protect their plants from floods and drought. Now Maryelis's family can grow food whatever the weather.

£25 for beeking

In Ethiopia many children only eat one small meal a day. A beehive means Sindu's family have two harvests of tasty honey a year - plenty to eat and extra to sell at market. For £25, SCIAF can provide a family like Sindu's with beehives and skills in beekeeping so that they can eat well and be healthy.

£25 to train a family member

£30 to send a child to nursery

War in northern Uganda has casued a lot of suffering. Money from people in Scotland enables children like Wultur and Gurfre to go to nursery whilst mums like Jenneth get some training to help them get back on their feet.

Climate change is already claiming lives in poor countries. In Nicaragua, many families have lost loved ones to increasingly frequent hurricanes, floods and land slides. SCIAF is providing communities with expert training so that they will be prepared for future disasters.

£64 buys a hearing aid

Farheena is now wired for sound. No, it's not an iPod but a hearing aid provided by SCIAF supporters. But then, who needs an MP3 player when you're hearing a million sounds for the first time?

£192 can train a physiotherapist

Shaifula is full of joy because he's just learned to do his own buttons. It's a big deal for him because he has a disability. One physiotherapist can help many children overcome their disability and live their lives to the full!
