Marlow Methodist Church
My story

Marlow Christian Aid Group consists of churches in Marlow working together to raise funds for Christian Aid.  This year we are organising an envelope collection and online giving across Marlow as part of Christian Aid Week.

We support the aims of Christian Aid: No mum should have the heart-breaking choice of which child to educate and which one will miss out on their dreams. No hardworking young person should be forced to give up on education, locking them into poverty. We dream of a better world. We want every child to be able to have the education they need to break free of poverty. We imagine a future where crops are not flattened by cyclones and washed away by floods. Together, we can help people secure a better future for their families, giving them the chance to fulfil their potential.

Thanks for your support.

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.
