My story

This Christian Aid Week, we celebrate how our partners in Malawi are helping farmers transform their livelihoods using the humble but mighty pigeon pea: a drought-resistant, soil-revitalising, high-protein, low-cost, delicious crop.

No mother should have the heart-breaking choice of which child to educate and which one will miss out on their dreams. 

We dream of a better world. We want every child to have the education they need to break free of poverty. We imagine a future where crops are not flattened by cyclones or washed away by floods

Together we can help people secure a better future for their families, giving them the chance to fulfill their potential.

With your help, we can make dreams come true around the world.

Please donate what you are able and support the work of Christian Aid. Thank you.

 

How your money helps

Poverty pushed Aline to the brink. She was abused, homeless and hungry. But Aline pushed back harder. With Christian Aid funded small business training, she achieved what had seemed impossible, a vital income for her and her children.

Fundraising this Christian Aid Week will ensure more people in Burundi get the skills and knowledge they need to push back against the inhumanity of poverty.
