Everyone is equal in the eyes of God.
Christian Aid is a global movement of people, churches and local organisations.
For 80 years, this truth has inspired Christian Aid to stand together in solidarity with the most marginalised global neighbours, of all faiths and none.
Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of their dignity and lets injustice thrive.
Christian Aid seek to eradicate extreme poverty by tackling its root causes. Together with people living in poverty, we amplify our voices to speak truth to power and create lasting change.
Fountainhall Church are delighted to support Christian Aid through a variety of activities in 2026 including Christian Aid Week.
Christian Aid Week 2026: 7 days to make a difference
Where hardship means hungers.....urban farmers can grow hope.
In the crowded and bustling settlements of Nairobi, most parents wake every single day knowing that they must go and earn money, otherwise their children won’t eat that evening. It’s a precarious and frightening daily struggle that no family should have to face.
‘When I wake up, I have a lot of worries. Sometimes I don't have food,’ says Fridah Moraa, a recently widowed grandmother determined to support her family on what little she earns.
‘Now I'm responsible for everything.’ With school costs, rent and water to cover, providing food for every meal is a relentless problem that never goes away.
But with tools, seeds and specialist training from our partner, Beacon of Hope, Fridah’s now making the most of a small space in the city to grow a steady supply of fresh vegetables that she can cook for her family or sell on her market stall.
With her unstoppable resolve, deep faith in God and a little help from our partner, Fridah’s overcoming poverty to feed the youngest members of her family and protect them from the threat of malnutrition. ‘Urban farming has changed my life.’

Our work in the Middle East includes defending people’s rights in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory, protecting women at risk of violence in Iraq and providing humanitarian assistance to refugees in Lebanon."
