My story

I’m taking on the challenge of 70K in May.

Why? To help people push back against poverty!

Malnourishment and poverty affect more than 70% of people in Burundi and other places around the world.

My frustration with this inequality led me to begin fundraising and to taking part in 70K in May.

The money raised can help ensure more people get the skills and knowledge they need to fulfil their hopes, dreams and ambitions! £10 could provide one person with the training that supports their family to set up a small business, grow their own food or both!

I will be walking and swimming the 70K in my quest to defeat poverty.

Together we can make a lasting difference. 
Thank you for your support!

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.
