My story

No mum should have to choose which of her children gets greater opportunities during their life because that child is the one who got an education, when their brothers and sisters did not.

No hardworking young person should be forced to give up on education, locking them into poverty.

Help people secure a better future for their families. Help them provide opportunities for all their loved ones to fulfill their potential.

Christian Aid will not stop until everyone can live a full life, free from poverty.

How your money helps

Poverty pushed Aline to the brink. She was abused, homeless and hungry. But Aline pushed back harder. With Christian Aid funded small business training, she achieved what had seemed impossible, a vital income for her and her children.

Fundraising this Christian Aid Week will ensure more people in Burundi get the skills and knowledge they need to push back against the inhumanity of poverty.
