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.
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 you are lucky enough to have a home, the chances are there's no electricity or running water, and it may not even survive the next storm.
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.
Grandborough Parish has always given very generously to Christian Aid and we trust that you will still want to donate by using the e-envelope. We will no longer be doing door-to-door collections in the Parish. All donations are anonymous and Gift Aid can be added if you are a taxpayer.
Please give generously and see if we can reach our target of £1,000. Thank you.
