My story

Soaring costs are a global problem affecting us all, here and around the world.

In Malawi, for example, food, fuel, fertiliser and school fees have all doubled in price in the last 12 months. Hard-working farmers have been seeing their harvests fail as the climate crisis brings increasingly erratic weather. The impact of the recent Cyclone Freddy there has been devastating. Floods have washed away crops, over 500,000 people have been displaced and hundreds have lost their lives. With your help, Christian Aid will be there long after the flood waters recede to help families build back.

Thank you for any help you can give in these challenging times.

How your money helps

Poverty pushed Aline to the brink. She was abused, homeless and hungry. But Aline pushed back harder. With Christian Aid funded small business training, she achieved what had seemed impossible, a vital income for her and her children.

Fundraising this Christian Aid Week will ensure more people in Burundi get the skills and knowledge they need to push back against the inhumanity of poverty.
