My story

We all know how much some people locally and across the UK are struggling ‘to make ends meet’ right now. The cost of living crisis affects everyone in some way.  But imagine you had been facing similar problems not for months but for years, even decades? That is the situation in the poorest communities across the world.

No mum should have the heart-breaking choice of which child to educate and which one will miss out on their dreams. 

No hardworking young person should be forced to give up on education, locking them into poverty.

We dream of a better world. We want every child to be able to have the education they need to break free of poverty. We imagine a future where crops are not flattened by cyclones and washed away by floods.

Together, we can help people secure a better future for their families, giving them the chance to fulfill their potential.

To be clear: Christian Aid helps people of all faiths and none, tackling poverty & the 
impact of climate change worldwide. In 2021-22 we reached 1.4 million people, across 257 projects in 14 countries. 

With your help, we can make dreams come true around the world. We won’t stop until everyone can live a full life, free from poverty.


How your money helps

Poverty pushed Aline to the brink. She was abused, homeless and hungry. But Aline pushed back harder. With Christian Aid funded small business training, she achieved what had seemed impossible, a vital income for her and her children.

Fundraising this Christian Aid Week will ensure more people in Burundi get the skills and knowledge they need to push back against the inhumanity of poverty.
