Self-Help International supports people in Ghana and Nicaragua to work
their way out of poverty. Self Help International’s work falls under five
major initiatives. Self Help International helps Americans to understand the
problems of life in developing countries, trains developing country farm
families on the use of more nutritious varieties of corn, supports infant and
preschool feeding programs using these varieties of corn, provides micro-
credit for women to start small-scale businesses, and collaborates with
other organizations in Ghana and Nicaragua to introduce appropriate
farming practices that enable farmers to break the cycle of poverty.

HOW TO HELP
Iowans can get involved with Self Help International through donations,
by volunteering in Iowa for projects, and by traveling overseas to assist in
projects with the local Self-Help staff. Another option to consider is to
leave a bequest, a lasting gesture that will help to alleviate hunger and
poverty among poor farmers overseas who work hard and struggle to
improve quality of life with dignity. Interested Iowans should contact the
Self Help office for more information.
