For the past year Farm Africa has been SABMiller’s Charity of the Year”. The South African brewing multinational is working in partnership with Farm Africa, both supporting project work and getting involved in a wide range of fundraising activities.

Three of SABMiller’s senior managers ran the Virgin London Marathon this year to raise funds for Farm Africa and to raise our profile.

SABMiller has just published its Sustainable Development Report for 2012. The report includes a message from Farm Africa’s Chief Executive, Nigel Harris, who writes:

“Farm Africa knows that the key to ending hunger and growing prosperity in rural Africa is to act as a bridge between African smallholder farmers, the government and the private sector. Farm Africa brings different sectors together, building a dialogue and and finding innovative sustainable solutions that increase the income of individuals and fit with the needs of business.”
