Head Of Fundraising Volunteer Roles in Belfast

We address the challenges of the lack of unadulterated, gluten-free and allergy free food products in the market, seeing that there are more than 100 000 cases of gluten intolerance per year. We also address the fact that post-harvest loss and knowledge gaps on post-harvest methods exist.

We help to solve those challenges by building a holistic and inclusive African Super-foods value chain to fight food insecurity, hunger and diseases. This is done through capacity building and technical assistance, processing and value addition training as well as access to markets. We partner with community heads and women leaders to identify, profile smallholder farmers, women and youth; we train them on agri-entrepreneural skills, post-harvest methods and techniques, business, financial and marketing skills. For example, we train on different methods of extending the life of staple crops such as plantains, sweet potatoes, etc. by processing them into flours, chips, puree, boiled, fried, pastries and much more. This way we provide beneficiaries with quality education, technical support, reduce post-harvest losses and facilitate market access.

Rural kids are rarely given opportunities to express themselves and be just children who explore, engage in art, painting, play on bouncing castles, dance, sing while they eat and drink and just be themselves away from fetching water, fetching firewood, digging in the gardens or even for moving town to town selling produce on their little heads. A rural child rarely gets time and opportunity to play, have fun, or be spoiled.

So every December, the AfroSabano Kids Art Fest brings 500 rural children together to experience fun, dance, play, games, drink, and food while they paint and draw. After the festival, their paintings are illustrated in a coloring book that is given to the kids to continue painting and coloring at home. The funds usually collected help to make Bamboo painting boards, pay festival staff, buy drinks and eat, Christmas gift, water paint and clay, painting brushes, venue hire, and aprons to protect their clothing while they paint. This will be our second festival. It usually happens in December as our Christmas gift to rural children.

FUNDRAISING

• Support with raising funds for 500 rural children to attend this year's Christmas art festival. Reach out to organisations or individuals who can support many rural kids to attend the festival.

• Volunteer 4-8 hours per week remotely
