Better World - Trócaire Global Gift
Better World
Your gift will help us to make a real difference in the lives of the world’s most vulnerable people, millions of whom go hungry every day.
Together we can make a better world by educating a child; giving a widow the means to grow food for her family; transforming a community by building a well.
Or we can help people recover after a natural disaster or drought. Last year, we funded 127 programmes across 38 countries, helping hundreds of thousands of people. Your gift can help us to do more in 2010.
Patricia is the head of her family since her husband died in 1991. Through Trocaire partner Cadecom Chikwawa, Patricia joined an agricultural project designed to help communities become self-sufficient. She received maize and bean seeds together with training in soil and water conservation.
Now Patricia feels more in control and more secure in her knowledge of how she can help her family. She is also more confident. "Before the training I wouldn't sit down and discuss issues with the men, but now I have no problems," she said. "We are still learning and it will take time to become totally self-sufficient but I want to know more and I want my family to be secure, so I am willing to continue to learn new things."
