My story

This Christian Aid Week, we are supporting families facing hunger in Nairobi and elsewhere.

Parents like Fridah are growing food in small city spaces so their children can eat. With tools, seeds and training, families can plan for the future.

Please give what you can this Christian Aid Week either online, by using a collection envelope or in church. In addition to online donations we have collected another £200 as at 17th May, towards our overall target of £500.

Thank you.

How your money helps

You can support families facing the daily stress of food insecurity in Nairobi.

In the crowded and noisy settlements of Nairobi, parents like Fridah wake up knowing they must earn money – otherwise their children won’t eat that evening. But with tools, seeds and training from our partner, Beacon of Hope, families can grow nutritious vegetables in small city spaces and grow hope for the future.

Every pound you raise could help:

  • provide seeds and tools so people can grow food in small spaces.
  • fund training so people can plan ahead and protect their livelihoods.
  • support community-led projects that strengthen food security and incomes.
