We are collecting once again for Christian Aid this year, both at our Coffee Morning on 3rd May and on the two Sundays of Christian Aid Week, May 12th and 18th. If you cannot be in church, please consider supporting the appeal this way.
In Burundi, malnourishment and poverty affect more than 70% of the population, putting them at the edge of survival.
Coming back from the edge isn't easy when food can be scarce, disease prevalent, and jobs hard to come by. If people have a home, chances are there's no electricity or running water, and it may not even survive the next storm.
Aline, pushed to the brink, was abused, homeless and hungry. But Aline pushed back. She found a lifeline through Christian Aid funded small business training and she set up as a grocery wholesaler. This meant Aline achieved what had seemed impossible, a vital income for her and her children.
You can help ensure more people in Burundi get the skills and knowledge they need to fulfil their hopes and ambitions.
And, do not forget that Christian Aid are also part of the international aid efforts going in to other needy areas of the world, including Ukraine and all those affected by the Gaza conflict
Donate and help someone push back against desperation this Christian Aid Week.
