VEGFAM

We extend a very warm welcome once again to our fave charity….

Vegfam - Feeding The Hungry Without Exploiting Animals

VEGFAM helps people overseas by providing funds for self-supporting, sustainable food projects and the provision of safe drinking water.

Vegfam fund ethically sound plant-food projects, which do not exploit animals or the environment: seeds and tools for vegetable growing, fruit and nut tree planting, irrigation and water wells. Also, emergency feeding in times of crisis.

VEGFAM funded projects are carried out by organizations who are committed to helping their fellow human beings in practical and sustainable ways - helping people who are often out of reach of the major charities.

Vegfam relies totally on donations from supporters and does not receive funding from any other source. 90% of general donations are spent directly on projects.

In recent years, Vegfam famine relief projects have benefited: Flood and earthquake survivors (including tsunami), HIV/AIDS sufferers, homeless people, marginalized communities, maternity homes, orphanages, refugees, schools and colleges. Villagers and tribal people have also been helped.

During 2005/2006, almost £70,000 was spent on projects, benefiting almost 3/4 million people in 11 countries.

Please support VEGFAM'S work - sending a donation will enable us to support projects which alleviate hunger, thirst, malnutrition and starvation.

There will be a collection both days at the BVF 08 for Vegfam and you can also donate to them on the Foods For Life stall, the Tombola near the acoustic stage and also on their own stall in the Main Marquee.
