Western Sahara Support Group

Western Sahara Support Group

The WSSG is a charitable trust born out of a longstanding relationship dating from 2000 when a small group of Sahrawi children visited Manchester. Read more about us here. 

We are currently supporting the Growing Hope sustainable vegetable farming project, which is run by a Sahrawi team in the camps. Since we began fundraising in 2018 we have raised enough to enable the project to begin building infrastructure, growing crops and improving the diet of the Sahrawi people. They are moving ever closer to reaching their aim of becoming self-reliant.
