UNIVERSAL EDUCATION

EDUCATING AFRICAN FARMERS

Togo, in Africa, is learning better to respect the land, which requires persistence and a commitment to learning more about farming in order to yield better and more plentiful crops. But they are facing some huge challenges!

Too many African families are unable to feed themselves and their communities, because they lack the basic tools to work the land and harvest their crops. The Lugar-Casey Global Food Security Act would help Africans address this problem. It would support African farmers in their fight against hunger in their own villages and empower Africa to feed Africa! But right now, this bill is stuck in the Senate.

Will you call your Senators and ask them to support this important legislation?

The farmers of Togo are hard-working, innovative, resourceful women and men who give every ounce of themselves to provide for their families. And they're exactly the sort of people the U.S. should be educating and supporting, by investing in proven solutions like better farming techniques, improved soil, efficient use of water and increased sharing of information across countries and cultures.

Please ask the Senate to pass the Lugar-Casey Global Food Security Act. Let's help give Africa its best chance to feed itself.
