Conserve Nature

 

Karagwe region is wealthy in terms of natural resources but requires injections of skill, training, support and equipment to leverage the potential of its land and people.

This is extremely worthwhile work, and Friends of Fadeco exists to support it. We do what we can, including arranging exchange visits and channeling donations.

Because as well as raising funds for vital development work, we aim to build local links and a real partnership at the grassroots level through Fadeco. We will be involved in specifically targeted fundraising, [such as the art auction at ecodyfi, right, showing Richard Collins, Secretary of FoF (left) and David Thorpe, Chair].

We are fundraising now for encouraging fair trade, for an information centre, and for training teachers. We would like you to help us with these and other very practical aims.

Message from Sekiku Joseph, Director of FADECO

I would like to express my deepest thanks to all members of FOF in the UK for your interest in FADECO and for supporting our development work here. With you in the background, I am most encouraged and motivated.

I understand that what it means for you to think about us. I am happy that, through FoF, we are able to show the rest of the International community that indeed friendship can break confines of race, religion and backgrounds. FOF is a living testimony that the world is one big village.
