In Burundi, hunger 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 survive the next storm.
Aline, pushed to the brink, was 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. Aline achieved what had seemed impossible, a vital income for her and her children.
We can help more people in Burundi get the skills and knowledge they need to lift themselves out of poverty, and to achieve their hopes and ambitions.
With our money, we can push back against poverty this Christian Aid Week.
