My story

Malcolm and I have supported Christian Aid for over 40 years, fundraising and house to house collecting in Birmingham. Now we live in All Saints Gardens Barrington and attend Haslingfield Methodist Church. We want to continue to support the amazing work and campaigning that Christian Aid do, supporting the most vulnerable people in the world to help themselves.

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.
