On Monday 1st March one of South London's best kept secrets, the Bonnington Cafe, hosted a day of curry to raise funds for our work.

Two of the Cafe's own chefs, Kamila and Ana, cooked up a fantastic three course feast, helping us to raise a fantastic £522.10 for our work in rural India and Malawi.

“We used to lack confidence and our men folk made the decisions. Now we have developed leadership qualities and make our own decisions.”  Alarkali, Federation President, Uttar Pradesh

On March 8^th this year our partner Pepus brought together 800 women to celebrate International Women’s Day. And there are lots of reasons to celebrate.

“When we started this project, the aim was to make the community self-sufficient in food.  I’m proud to say that this aim has been achieved.”  Florence Kalua, Malawi.

Florence’s achievement as a lead farmer is remarkable. Especially when we put it in the context of the fact that the number of hungry people reached one billion last year. An FYF co-sponsored report ‘Why No Thought for Food?’ explores further.

Many crucial issues facing the developing world are often overlooked or underrepresented by the media. In 2009 Find Your Feet was chosen as one of the NGO partners for the prestigious Guardian International Development Journalism Competition. As part of this competition two journalists visited our work in India.
