Help our farmers back on their feet after devastating veld fires in the Free State

South Africa’s rural area is suffering after devastating fires. This disaster has an impact on food production and has a devastating effect on the economy in the affected areas.

We need to assist these communities. That is why Free State Agriculture has established a disaster fund. The Free State Agriculture Disaster Fund ensures that the aid gets out quickly and directly where it is most needed.

You can help Free State Agriculture to get these farmers back on their feet.
