Schools
Our Give Poverty the Boot campaign has captured the imagination of schoolchildren nationwide. Hundreds of children have donned their wellies and got involved. From learning about Africa and our work through to raising money to help poor farmers - children are combining learning with action. And they know that their support means FARM-Africa can help children in Africa lead better lives.
Give Poverty the Boot is a great fun campaign with a serious mission; to stamp out poverty in rural Africa by empowering farmers with the tools, training and support they need to prosper. When you and your school Give it Some Welly, you enable families in Africa to afford the basics for their children - food, clean water, medicines and school books.
Our Give Poverty the Boot site is dedicated to helping schools raise money. You'll find:
- Fundraising ideas: We suggest plenty of fun welly-themed activities, from welly sports to welly decorating.
- Fundraising resources: We've got everything you need, from sponsor forms to posters.
- Lesson plans: A primary teacher has helped us plan KS1 and KS2 lessons for a variety of subject areas, helping children think about Africa and our work.
For more information please contact our Support Services Team.
