My story

Canterbury Musicians have kindly offered their musical talents in a concert at the Old Synagogue on Thursday 18th May at 7 45 to help raise money for Christian Aid Week.

Christian Aid works with local partners on small projects which make a big difference to people's lives. This year's example is helping farmers in Malawi grow pigeon peas, a drought resistant crop which they can turn into bread and other products to sell as well as feeling their family 

 

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.
