 | Fund raising trip to Ethiopia | Close to 30 supporters of Self Help Africa will travel to Africa this Autumn - visiting Ethiopia on a nine day field visit to meet local communities, and see the organisaton's work at first hand.
The trip is open to all interested supporters, who are required to raise at least €5,000/£4,000 - half of which will cover travel and associated costs, and the balance from which will be invested in Self Help's ongoing programme activities in Ethiopia. | |
