The Buturi Project needs your support

The Buturi Project is a small charity made up of like-minded volunteers, helping a remote village in Tanzania, on the shore of Lake Victoria, where they are struggling with poverty in near intolerable conditions.

Like many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, Buturi has suffered from the twin disasters of AIDS and drought.

Twenty-five years of AIDS has decimated the community, so we tend to see the very young and old with the stronger, more capable generation missing. The older generation struggle to bring up their orphaned grandchildren. Buturi is a village typical of this situation.

Their Christmas appeal this year is for food for the Buturi school children. 

This will be in order for them to have one meal per day and a permaculture food programme so they may sustain themselves in the future.

If you are in Exeter on Saturday 29th November at the Guildhall Shopping Centre (in front of Sainsbury’s), pop in, say hello, and learn more about the charity and the work they do in Tanzania, East Africa.
