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.
