My story

This Christian Aid Week focuses on Guatemala, where the climate crisis is destroying crops and causing hunger for Indigenous communities. But with training, farmers like Aurelia, who features in the CAW25 campaign, are fighting back. 

Aurelia has faced extreme heatwaves that have killed her crops, but through Christian Aid’s partner, Congcoop, she’s learning to grow resilient crops, make fertiliser and conserve water. She’s sharing this knowledge with others, helping her community build a sustainable future. 

As an EcoChurch, Buxton Methodist Church seeks to raise awareness of climate change impacts at home and abroad. We know that the world's poorest communities are hit hardest by flooding, drought and severe weather events.

This Christian Aid Week, please give to support farmers in the fight against hunger and the climate crisis.

How your money helps

This Christian Aid Week, you can support communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

In places like Guatemala, extreme weather is destroying crops, deepening hunger and threatening livelihoods. But with the right tools and training, farmers can build sustainable futures.  

Every pound you raise could help:

  • Provide climate-resilient seeds to help families grow food.
  • Fund water conservation techniques to protect crops.
  • Support vital training so farmers can build a sustainable future.
