My story

Poppy my collie, is actually just keen on any kind of walk but I'm sure if she could speak she would agree.  I'm 73 and she's about the same in dog years.  I'm moderately fit thanks to her, but will still find this a bit challenging I know.  

When I get footsore I'll think about the millions of people who now have to walk such long distances for clean water, and to take their produce to market. 

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 so much for supporting us.

Thank you

Thank you so much for your kind generous donation, and getting the ball rolling.  It will spur Poppy and I on - to achieving 70k and beyond, which we hope to do.

Best wishes Jill

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.
