When Jesus fed 5000+ from only very little food, he started with what he and his friends had. By offering what they had so many people's needs were met, and more. Today we can help in meeting the needs of so many people in situations like those of Aline, just by offering what we have to them, through God. Christian Aid makes this simple to do and though we may never meet the people we help, we know how grateful they will be for lives changed as a result of our gesture.
Small change for us, a huge difference for them!
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 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.
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.
