My story

We dream of a better world. We want everyone to have enough to eat.  We want to support people who are suffering the most from the effects of the climate emergency.  We imagine a future where crops are not flattened by cyclones and washed away by floods. We want every child to be able to have the education they need to break free of poverty.

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

We believe in life before death.  With your help, we can make dreams come true around the world.

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.
