As you may know, here at Bunches we are committed to making a difference. Each year we donate a minimum of 10% of our profits to charitable projects, both in the UK and abroad. This means that every time you place your order with Bunches, you are part of something bigger. 

We work alongside our charity partner Links International, providing funds to help change lives, particularly in Malawi.

We believe that sustainable freedom from poverty starts with a hand up, not a handout. One of the schemes we have actively supported is the Pamoza Project in Mzuzu. This project breeds pigs and provides females to those in need. Full training is provided so that the recipients are able to breed pigs of their own. Back in 2014, we met a man named Moses, who had sadly grown up an orphan and was struggling to support his own family. Moses received one of our first piglets.

When we returned in 2018, we were delighted to catch up with Moses. The piglet we had given to him had produced four litters, and as promised one female was returned to the original farm, meaning we can also help someone else. Thanks to this one little piglet, Moses was able to vastly improve his living standards, buy furniture, and pay for his daughters’ education.

Amazingly, Moses had one more surprise in store – he asked if we would like to see his latest investment! Not only had he successfully started his own piggery, but he had also built a shop, hairdressers, and a new property! 

All of this came from one little piggy, and stories like this are why we believe Bunches is a blessing, not just a business. Every time you buy from Bunches, you're directly helping people change their lives for the better.
