I’m fundraising this Christian Aid Week! Why? To help people push back against poverty. Did you know, malnourishment and poverty affect more than 70% of people in Burundi?
Christian Aid are working to empower families in Burundi build reliable and diverse incomes. Take Aline, for example. She found a lifeline in Christian Aid after she felt the full force of extreme poverty, when an early marriage ended in abuse and violence. We helped her with small business training and she set up as a grocery wholesaler. Today, Aline can afford food, clothes, and essential healthcare for her family.
I am walking from York Minster to Ripon Cathedral via Kirby Hill with my friend Dorothy and our dogs, Kit and Scout. We have been in training since October. As Kit is a minature Jack Russel I checked with the Vet who advised that as long as Kit came on my training walks she would manage the full walk!
There’s more people Christian Aid could reach – and that’s why I’m fundraising.
The money raised can help ensure more people get the skills and knowledge they need to fulfil their hopes and ambitions. £10 could provide one person with the training that supports their family to set up a small business, such as selling home-grown vegetables.
Together we can make a lasting difference. Thank you for your support!
