My story

Christian Aid has a place in my heart. So I have decided to try and keep my mouth shut for 48 hours. Please donate any amount you can. 

In Guatemala, farmers like Aurelia are battling extreme weather, but with Christian Aid’s support, they’re learning skills to protect their farms and provide for their families. 

Your support can help fund this vital training. Just £20 could buy two pounds of climate-resilient seeds, diversifying a family’s crop and increasing their resilience against the effects of the climate crisis.

Thank you

Again thank you so so much for all your donations from hubby finding cash down the side of the sofa (don't worry he gave more than he found, think he found a few pounds!)  To a little one giving her pocket money her granny gives her. You've all made my heart burst and my eyes water xxx

How your money helps

This Christian Aid Week, you can support communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

In places like Guatemala, extreme weather is destroying crops, deepening hunger and threatening livelihoods. But with the right tools and training, farmers can build sustainable futures.  

Every pound you raise could help:

  • Provide climate-resilient seeds to help families grow food.
  • Fund water conservation techniques to protect crops.
  • Support vital training so farmers can build a sustainable future.
