Run to End Poverty Saskatoon
Run to End Poverty is coming to the Saskatchewan Marathon on May 29, 2011!
Click ‘Get Started’ on the right to join the R2EP team!!
This year, R2EP Saskatoon is running in support of Engineers Without Borders’ “Agriculture Value Chains” team in Zambia!
The Agriculture Value Chains team is working hard to facilitate stronger links between the privatesector and rural farmers to increase access to suppliers (for needed farming inputs like seeds or fertilizers), microcredit, and market opportunity for rural communities. By working directly with development organizations in Zambia, EWB can help these organizations to bridge this gap and connect small businesses and farmers, so both can better succeed.
