My story

In Guatemala, the climate crisis is destroying crops and causing hunger for Indigenous communities. But with training, farmers like Aurelia are fighting back. 

Aurelia has faced extreme heatwaves that have killed her crops, but through Christian Aid’s partner, Congcoop, she’s learning to grow resilient crops, make fertiliser and conserve water. She’s sharing this knowledge with others, helping her community build a sustainable future. 

This Christian Aid Week, please give to support farmers in the fight against hunger and the climate crisis.

Great Walk on Saturday

The walk was very interesting, enjoyable & eventful - coming to an abrupt end with a fire alarm prior to the end of evensong at St Paul's. The evacuation of the cathedral was very orderly and swift so well done to those who managed all that. 

Many. many thanks for all your donations.

How your money helps

This Christian Aid Week, you can support communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

In places like Guatemala, extreme weather is destroying crops, deepening hunger and threatening livelihoods. But with the right tools and training, farmers can build sustainable futures.  

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.
