My story

I have always been impressed that Christian Aid works alongside those in need whatever their faith and trusts local people to deliver carefully thought-through programmes of development.

For instance, in Guatemala, the climate crisis is destroying crops and causing hunger for Indigenous communities. But with training, farmers are fighting back. 

They have faced extreme heatwaves that have killed their crops, but through Christian Aid’s partner, Congcoop, they're learning to grow resilient crops, make fertiliser and conserve water. Sharing this knowledge with others, helps their community build a sustainable future.

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.
