SWRI International Projects
An international project is identified biennially by
the International Committee. In the past members have raised
money to send livestock to Uganda, support a self-help horticultural
project in the Gambia, to dig wells,
to demonstrate patchwork to Romanian women, for the
prevention of River Blindness in
Sierra Leone and raising funds to purchase
livestock for village communities in South West Tanzania.
The new International
Project is Mary’s Meals
which is an
international movement to set up school feeding
projects in communities where poverty and hunger
prevent children from gaining an education.
The appeal will run until
the 31 December 2009.
