My story

In the words of a former Christian Aid campaign, 'We Believe In Life Before Death'.  We have been supporting Christian Aid for decades and last we raised over £1,200.  We would love to beat that in Christian Aid's 80th year. 

This year the focus is on Guatemala, where climate change is destroying crops and causing hunger for Indigenous communities. Climate change is an issue that is effecting us all but in Central American it is hitting some of the poorest communities in the world.  with funding support and 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.

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.
