This is the focus for the 2024 collection... We hope to have volunteers doing House to House in most of the old village but this digital envelope could boost our usual return of around £1000 to an even better total to help this vital work.
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.
If you live in a part of the village we can't cover or just prefer to give online, donating here will help someone push back against poverty this Christian Aid Week and demonstrate how much our community in Houghton Conquest cares about those who are so much worse off than even the poorest of us.
