Before the pandemic I took part in a number of Christian Aid's Circle the City sponsored walks. In 2020 and 2021 I devised my own circular walks passing churches in my local area.
Last year the fundraising walk returned as The London Freedom Walk. This year we will begin at All Hallows-by-the-Tower and follow a route across the river and back, visiting various churches and other venues along the way, ending at St. Paul's Cathedral for Evensong.
I always enjoy the sponsored walks in this great City and it's an easy way to raise money for Christian Aid's annual appeal. I hope you will feel able to support Christian Aid by sponsoring me because:
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.
