My story

Christian Aid Week is an annual opportunity to bring focus onto the good work of Christian Aid, who work with other charities and partners to provide help, relief and opportunity in the poorest communities in the world.

To tackle the problem of poverty, Christian Aid campaigns against injustice and runs programmes to empower people and communities to help themselves out of poverty as well as to be robust in the case of sudden change, such as those posed by the climate.

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. 

Please donate and help someone push back against poverty. Thank you.

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.
