Thanks to You

Specoise from Burundi had to drop out of school and go to work so that her family did not go hungry. Thanks to you, she got training from SCIAF and is now earning enough money to make sure her own children don’t have to miss out on an education.

She said:

"I can now grow vegetables, breed chickens, pigs and goats, and the extra money means my children can go to school."

Every year, thanks to the support of Scottish schools, SCIAF is able to help thousands of people across Africa, Asia and Latin America to lift themselves out of poverty and towards a better life.

In 2009 you helped...

• 463,000 of the world's poorest people to overcome conflict, hunger, disease and disasters
• Scotland to pass the world's strongest climate change laws
• 30,000 children learn about SCIAF's work through 226 school visits across Scotland
• raise over £6 million

Thank you!
