We are 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.
There’s more people Christian Aid could reach – and that’s why we are 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.
As well as this local online donation page, we are collecting through our Churches, including fund raising by a 'Tea Afternoon' and an 'At Home' Coffee/Tea/Cake Day. We will also be delivering envelopes around Glossopdale, asking people to bring their donations to Central Methodist Church, Chapel Street, Glossop.
Together we can make a lasting difference. We are always encouraged by the wonderful support from the people of Glossopdale. Thank you.
