My story

Will you help someone like Aline push back against the inhumanity of poverty?

Aline felt the full force of extreme poverty when an early marriage ended in abuse and violence.

Separated from her six children, she was forced to sleep on the streets of Burundi. No home. No healthcare. No security.

But Aline was determined to push back. Driven by hope, faith and the love of her children, she transformed her life with a little help from Christian Aid.

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.

£100 could provide ten people with the training that supports their families to set up small businesses, such as selling home-grown vegetables like Aline.

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.
