Teach A Man To Fish Is Two Years Old!



Whilst most two year olds are still waddling around, TAMTF is in full stride and helping change the world of education!

On the 22nd August we celebrated our 2nd birthday with a nice little cake. From left is: Maya Joseph (School Links Officer), Jim Stephenson (Programmes Manager), Nik Kafka (Managing Director), Tyler Mattiace (Conference and Communications Officer) and Adam Dorken (Fundraising and Communications Officer).

TAMTF has achieved a remarkable amount over the last two years and spread 'Education that Pays for Itself' all around the world. May the next two years bring even more success!

Teach A Man To Fish at The Innocent Village Fete


Over the weekend of the 4th and 5th of August, Teach A Man To Fish ran a stall at The Innocent Village Fete in Regent's Park, London. The stall was a huge success, with a 'Mango Shy' (styled on a Coconut Shy but using Mangos instead) and a sack race, with each sack being decorated as one of the animals from the Teach A Man To Fish projects around the world.


The aim of the weekend was to raise awareness about what we are doing to some of the 60,000 people who turned up for the event. The Mango Shy signalled the launch of our 'Carbon Fruitprint' programme, supporting the planting of Mango Orchards in Kenyan schools.

The sack race was aimed at promoting the diversity of projects we have around the world, from worm farming in Armenia to Pig rearing in Uganda.

Altogether the weekend was a great success and our enthusiastic team of volunteers had a great time!
