Below is just one of the stories of Christian Aid Week - there are so many more. You can give through this envelope to be part of the story this Christian Aid Week. To inspire you three of St Mary's Morning Prayer team are taking part in the 70k in May challenge - and will do 70k in a day in May. On the 28th May Marion, Ysmena and Jake will swim (5k), cycle (55k) and run (10k). Other members of St Mary's are also taking on the challenge to walk/run/cycle 70k in May. Cheer them on, make your offering, and push back against poverty.
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.
You can help ensure more people in Burundi get the skills and knowledge they need to fulfil their hopes and ambitions.
Donate and help someone push back against poverty this Christian Aid Week.
