I’m fundraising for this year's Christian Aid Appeal! Why? To help people push back against poverty. Did you know, malnourishment and poverty affect more than 70% of people in the country of Burundi in East Africa?
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. Christian Aid 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 so many more people like Aline that Christian Aid could reach – and that’s why I’m fundraising through the '70k in May' challenge.
The money raised can help ensure more people get the skills and knowledge they need to help them live flourishing lives and escape the curse of poverty. £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!
