My story

We are Linda and Steve from Hounslow and have been supporting the work of Christian Aid for over 30 years.

We are taking on the 70K in May challenge not only to fundraise but also to raise the profile of Christian Aid among family, friends and our community.

We like Christian Aid's way of working with local partners on the ground, to provide long-term sustainable development in some of the most vulnerable communities. In other words - 'we believe in life before death'.

Thank you everyone who supported us and donated.

on Thursday 23rd May at 11.30 am we completed our 70k in May challenge for Christian Aid. 

Our original target of £300 was surpassed and reached £ 513.75.

AMAZING!!!

We have been humbled by the prayers, support and love for the work of Christian Aid. Knocked out by the wonderful conversation we have had about Christian Aid, including why we are doing the 70k challenge and people wanting to know more about ways to help our neighbours like Aline. 

Thank you one and all for your amazing support.

And the greatest of these is Love. 1 Corinthians 13:13

A great start to Christian Aid week

We have had a great start to CAW.

Not only did our Sunday Worship focus on CAW and Aline's story but it was followed by a very successful cake sale raising over £296.

Now our 70k in May fundraising target has been passed with a current total of £375 in donations and only 15k more to go. 

Thank you to everyone for your amazing support.

And the greatest of these is LOVE - 1 Corinthians 13: 13b

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.
