How do you know when a partnership is real? - January 2025
Written by Dr Andrew Floyer Acland
What do Wotton-under-Edge and Taninahun have in common? The first is a small and pretty town in the glorious southern Cotswolds; the latter is a huddle of mud and brick huts with palm leaf or corrugated iron roofs in the Barri Chiefdom of Sierra Leone. So not much in common other than that they are both home to Rory’s Well (RW), a remarkable charity that turns modest funding and much goodwill into clean water, improved agriculture, low-cost loans and fantastic honey.

Rory's Well Inga Programme update - July 2023
This video highlights Rory's Well founder, Tony Evan's commitment to replacing existing 'slash and burn' farming techniques with a sustainable, regenerative alternative known as 'Inga Alley Cropping'. We have been using Inga Alley Cropping for over 3 years now and that, along with the opening of our Inga Alley Training Centre in 2022, has provided multiple benefits to the villagers. The potential for this farming technique, which ticks humanitarian AND environmental boxes is huge and transformative, making people's lives and the planet more resilient...
