Riverside Ramble - Yeovil Christian Aid Group

Christian Aid Week 2024

seven days and so many ways to make a difference

Focussing this year on community projects in Burundi, one of the poorest countries in Africa, where more than 70 per cent of the population live in poverty and more than half of children are chronically malnourished.

We're walking circular routes in the peaceful Somerset countryside alongside the River Parrett

(3 miles & 4 miles), Saturday 18 May

Start 1000 and 1300, from Langport. Lunch optional in between. (Contact Phil Juggins for Joining Instructions)

Choose one walk or do both!       

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.
