Christian Aid does vital work with communities - of all faiths and none - to help them lift themselves out of poverty. 'Give someone a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach someone how to fish (and give them a net) and you feed them for a lifetime'
Please support Christian Aid in providing training, tools & climate resilience and make a huge difference in people's lives. Our walk is also a 'small cry of resistance and hope' following the USA government withdrawal of USAID earlier this year.
Your support, however much you can afford, will make a real difference.
