Christian Aid works with local partners in some of the world's poorest communities, supporting people regardless of their religion to live a full life, free from poverty.
Each year our parish gets involved in their big fundraising effort, Christian Aid Week.
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 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 small business training funded by Christian Aid, 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, and in many other countries, get the skills and knowledge they need to fulfil their hopes and ambitions.
Please donate and help someone push back against poverty this Christian Aid Week.
