Africa 100 Appeal is selected in final of prestigious industry awards

The Africa 100 Appeal, a joint fundraising initiative with the National Farmers Union (NFU) marking the centenary of the organisation, has been nominated for the Social Initiative Award as part of the prestigious Trade Association Forum’s Best Practice Awards.

The award will be presented to the association member who has demonstrated outstanding social initiative that benefits the sector and wider world.  The Africa 100 Appeal allows farmers and industry partners to show their support for fellow farmers in eastern Africa by trying to raise £200,000 to improve the lives of Kenyan farmers. The appeal will finance a project to introduce a disease resistant variety of cassava, a staple crop, to help farmers to feed themselves and their families.

The appeal is being supported by the NFU’s industry partners, individual members and staff and has so far raised £172,000. To support the appeal or to learn more about Africa 100 please visit www.africa100appeal.com
