How your money helps

The hope of farming families is being pushed to the limit. In Zimbabwe, Nyarai’s family have always made their living by farming and selling chickens, until the climate crisis began to threaten their harvests and their hope. Low rainfall often left her family without enough food.

With Christian Aid-funded training, Nyarai learned sustainable harvesting and climate-smart agriculture practices. This transformed their lives. Your church’s collection will help train more farmers and prevent hunger and malnutrition as extreme weather ravages their crops.
