In Burundi, malnourishment and poverty affect more than 70% of the population, putting them at the edge of survival.
Coming back from the edge isn't easy when food can be scarce, disease prevalent, and jobs hard to come by. If you have a home, chances are there's no electricity or running water, and it may not even survive the next storm.
Aline, pushed to the brink, was abused, homeless and hungry. But Aline pushed back. She found a lifeline through Christian Aid funded small business training and she set up as a grocery wholesaler. This meant Aline achieved what had seemed impossible, a vital income for her and her children.
Please donate and support our fundraising efforts to help more people fulfil their hopes and ambitions this Christian Aid Week:
- Some of us will be doing the Christian Aid London Freedom Walk linking many London churches
- Some of us will be making recipes from countries who need our prayers and support
- All of us will be praying for climate justice for those most affected by the devastating effects of global heating
Thank you
