My story

We are supporting Christian Aid week as this charity helps enable those who are on the edge of survival due to war, natural disasters or climate change.

The focus this year is on Burundi where malnourishment and poverty affect more than 70% of the population, putting them at the edge of survival. An example of Christ Aid’ work is Aline’s story. She was pushed to the brink, abused, homeless and hungry but she 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. There is more about this project on Christian Aid’s website.

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.

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.
