This Christian Aid Week, we are fundraising in Melbourne to help people push back against poverty. For 80 years, Christian Aid has worked in the poorest countries in the world, standing up for dignity, equality and justice.
This year the campaign focus is on Guatemala, which is among the 10 countries rated most vulnerable to disasters and climate emergencies. Here, the climate crisis is destroying crops and causing hunger for Indigenous communities. But with training, farmers like Aurelia and Amelia are fighting back.
They have faced extreme heatwaves that have killed their crops, but through Christian Aid’s partner Congcoop, Aurelia and Amelia are learning to grow resilient crops, make fertiliser and conserve water. Once trained they share this knowledge with others, helping their community build a sustainable future.
The money raised on this fundraising page can help more people gain the skills they need to feed their families and make a living.
Together, here in Melbourne we can make a lasting difference. Last year through gift envelopes delivered to homes and fundraising events we raised £4,150 for the work of Christian Aid. Thank you for your generous support.
