Christian Aid's Philanthropy & Partnerships Team (and friends!) are taking on the Christian Aid Week 2024 challenge of 70K in May. Why? To help people push back against poverty. Did you know, malnourishment and poverty affect more than 70% of people in Burundi?
Christian Aid are working to empower families in Burundi to build reliable and diverse incomes. Take Aline, for example. She found a lifeline in Christian Aid after she felt the full force of extreme poverty, when an early marriage ended in abuse and violence. We helped her with small business training and she set up as a grocery wholesaler. Today, Aline can afford food, clothes, and essential healthcare for her family.
There’s many more people Christian Aid could reach – and that’s why we're fundraising.
The money raised can help ensure more people get the skills and knowledge they need to fulfil their hopes and ambitions. £10 could provide one person with the training that supports their family to set up a small business, such as selling home-grown vegetables.
Together we can make a lasting difference. Thank you for visiting our page and for your support!

We're now over half-way through May, and the Philanthropy & Partnerships Pacers have collectively run, cycled, swum, and walked 420km! Thank you so much for all your donations, which are motivating us to keep ticking off the kilometres on our countdown to 70 each!
Thanks to the incredible generosity of all our family and friends, we're soon to hit £500! So we've decided to up our target to £700, which seems fitting for our 70k in May challenge to celebrate Christian Aid Week 2024, in which there are 7 days to make a difference!
