Why do Charlie Stuart Gay & Daniella Hunter say “Yes” to Gordon and the children of Africa

Charlie says…..”My wife Daniella and i are delighted to be Patrons for this wonderfully impactful African charity. Food4Africa has proven over the last twenty years to be sustainable and effective  in packaging and delivering over 60 million nutritious meals  to children and people in need across South Africa.

I met founders Alan and Gordon first through our collective initiative in the early 2000s gathering in Mozambique to reduce the cost of land mine removal under another Foundation with the Patronage of Nelson Mandela and a group of caring citizens including John Paul de Joria who is also with us as Patron here  for Food4Africa.  When we tackled the work of land mine removal the Mineseeker Foundation’s technology deployed was able to reduce the cost of de-mining  from $1,000 to $8 a land mine so a never ending problem became a solution with fertile farm land returned to the villagers. Food4Africa was birthed before this knowing the need for sustained feeding of the poor could save lives and then empower a Nation to feed itself.

Our commitment continues today to be inspired by Mandela who taught us all that feeding Africa would start with food, nutritional prepared. This is occurring every day-through Food4Africa. This work is absolutely vital as if we do not accomplish this together with your support then the UN projects there will be 400 million Climate Refugees by 2030 looking to travel to Europe and the Americas . If unchecked, by 2050 this number is projected to swell to 1.3 billion, a number utterly unsustainable for any government and receiving country or continent to handle.

We have to provide food and water solutions to prevent climate refugee misplacement. We absolutely have to and we can only accomplish this with your help as an inclusive collective.

Mandela’s legacy continues to inspire us and his world to ask deeper questions. Recognizing how to care for our basic actions around food and water, to educate farmers to grow with best practices the most appropriate healthy local produce, to be picked up and produced in local food factories, and to keep on educating farmers and consumers how we provide “the fishing rod and then teach them to feed.”

Daniella and my work around food extended on the ground over the years from Mozambique and Kenya in the East and to Liberia in the West, where we have stimulated Hope Farm under the leadership of Liberian youth leader Dr Kimmie Weeks, the first organic producing farm in the country focusing on multi growing multi use crops and flours, like plantain and cassava  that are not reliant on high water irrigation and are versatile to make a variety of nutritious foods.

We ask for your immediate support for Food4Africa. It is time that we can combat food famine once and for all and we are all at this critical global and personal juncture where together we can change the course of all our histories.
