About this event

This Harvest, we’re sharing the powerful story of Waré, a mother of five from southern Ethiopia, whose community is facing the devastating effects of four years of drought. CAFOD is working alongside Waré and her neighbours to build an underground water tank—a vital lifeline that will provide clean, reliable water even in the harshest dry seasons.

🌍 What to Expect:

  • Hear from CAFOD Director Christine Allen, who will share insights from our work in Ethiopia and answer your questions in a live Q&A.
  • Connect with fellow volunteers who are passionate about making a difference.
  • Enjoy authentic Ethiopian coffee and snacks as we celebrate the culture and community we’re supporting.
  • Get equipped with everything you need to bring this year’s Harvest story to life in your parish.

🗓️ Key Dates to Note:

  • Harvest Fast Day: Friday, 3rd October 2025
  • Parish Appeal Weekends: 27th–28th September & 4th–5th October 2025

Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or joining us for the first time, this event is a chance to be inspired, informed, and empowered.

👉 Reserve your spot today and be part of something truly meaningful.

We can’t wait to welcome you—with heart, hope, and a cup of Ethiopian coffee in hand.
