Aline’s story

In Burundi, malnourishment and poverty affect more than 70% of the population, putting them at the edge of survival.

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. 

This gave her the skills to set up a “Village Savings & Loan Association” and later her own small business as a local trader of avocados and peanuts. She was able to buy a bicycle to transport her goods to market.   Later she was able to rent a house for herself and her children.  Now she has even baked her own bricks to build a permanent home for her family.

Real sustainable transformation through a little love and support from Christian Aid.

You can help ensure more people in Burundi get the skills and knowledge they need to fulfil their hopes and ambitions.

Donate and help someone push back against poverty this Christian Aid Week.
