My story

In places like South Sudan, for families like Shede's, the daily struggle is not just for safety but also to protect their children from hunger and malnutrition. Having left everything behind, they arrive in refugee settlements with just the clothes they fled in.

Even resilient individuals now face an uncertain future. But with your help, we can support families like hers to buy food and lifesaving supplies.

By giving up just a little of our Christmas, (for example by forgoing or creating our own Christmas Crackers), we could donate their cost to help families like Shede's find comfort during conflict.  

This Christmas, as we celebrate, please give what you can, and also pray that it will be possible to make a brighter more peaceful future for them. 

Thank you so much

How your money helps

This Christmas, you can support families in South Sudan; a country ravaged by conflict and the climate crisis.

Extreme poverty is deepening, as food shortages, high prices, lack of clean water, and poor sanitation make daily life an enormous challenge for most. As more families arrive to seek refuge each day, exponential pressure is being put on communities and humanitarian organisations who are already at breaking point.

Every pound you raise could provide:

  • Nutritious meals to help families combat hunger and malnutrition.
  • Blankets and warm clothing to bring comfort to children far from home.
  • Financial assistance that enables families to buy essential items and rebuild their lives.

Your donations, this Christmas, will bring hope to those who need it most.
