My story

In Guatemala, gruelling heatwaves and extreme weather are destroying the crops that women like Amelia and Aurelia rely on to feed their families. The roots of this cruel injustice run deep. Indigenous communities like Amelia’s and Aurelia’s have done the least to cause this climate crisis, yet they endure its impact the most. As their land is devastated, the search for solutions becomes critical. With the support of Christian Aid’s partner, Congcoop, Ameila and Aurelia are learning how to plant resilient crops, conserve water and make fertiliser.

With your support, we can fund vital training, so communities can fight the effects of the climate crisis. Thank you.

Every pound you raise could help:

  • Provide climate-resilient seeds to help families grow food.
  • Fund water conservation techniques to protect crops.
  • Support vital training so farmers can build a sustainable future.
