Paul Stuart

CEO of @RippleEffectNGO - Our vision is of a confident and thriving rural Africa. Views are my own.

We value the support and guidance from the team at Ethical Goods. They helped us see the value of what we have and think through different enterprise models, all with the goal of furthering our mission.

Question from the floor. How do you remain optimistic about change? The importance of 'solidarity' and the power of multiple voices coming together

Thank you @lizwathuti for sharing your eye witness accounts of the devastating impact of the climate crisis in Kenya and reiterating the critical importance of Climate Justice now #globalcitizenconf @IntDevAlliance @RippleEffectNGO

[Scotland's International Development Alliance @IntDevAlliance]

"This isn't about money. This is about justice, this is about international solidarity.

This is what the global community needs if we are to solve the nature & climate crisis together.

We need global climate justice, and we need global climate justice now."

The message is the same, whether on a farm in Somerset or one of the farms @RippleEffectNGO work on in Africa. Spot on! @IsaacOgutu, I thought you might like this quote.

[Ripple Effect @RippleEffectNGO]

Love this quote from farmer Rob Walrond about soil 👇

“Think of soil as a community, an intricate mix of different organisms. Like any community, in order to thrive it needs to be healthy and balanced.”

#SoilHealth #SustainableFarming

[Ripple Effect @RippleEffectNGO]

"To me, Ripple Effect means spreading life changing lessons to the less fortunate in our communities through various farm system activities in a sustainable manner.. it’s the perfect name to replace Send a Cow"

- Isaac Ogutu, Farm Systems Coordinator, talking about our new name

Wow! What a ripple!

[Ripple Effect @RippleEffectNGO]

One man = 10,000 ripples. Inspiring to hear Samuel Sana’s story: “I took what I had learnt and pasted it into my home”. Now a Peer Farmer, he has trained 10,000 people! #WealthCreationProject @UKaid @BigLots @Heifer
