Love your neighbour as yourself
Helping our neighbours grow enough to eat
Around the world – despite farmers’ best efforts – crops are failing and families are going hungry - but there is hope and there is a solution.
In South Sudan and Bangladesh, devastating floods are destroying farmland but - thanks to the extraordinary generosity of the Catholic community at Fast Days - our local partners have been helping families to develop ingenious solutions like floating gardens that can grow food above floodwaters.
Shorai is a farmer and a father in Zimbabwe, where rain is scarce. With the help of our local experts, he has turned dry ground into fertile land by using drought-resistant crops and helping build a solar-powered water pump. He told us that: “A good neighbour is someone who can help me in periods of need.”
In God's eyes, we are one global family, called to be neighbours. Your support means more of our neighbours can put food on the table.
Rejoice, a mother and farmer from South Sudan
