My story
We'll be covering the 70km walking in the Worcester area and further afield - sometimes walking together, sometimes alone and other times with other members of our church community. The idea is to walk in solidarity with millions of people who have to walk long distances for clean water or to sell their produce. 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.
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.
