In Burundi, malnourishment and poverty affect more than 70% of the population, putting them at the edge of survival.
Coming back from the edge isn't easy when food can be scarce, disease prevalent, and jobs hard to come by. If you have a home, chances are there's no electricity or running water, and it may not even survive the next storm.
Aline, pushed to the brink, was abused, homeless and hungry. But Aline pushed back. She found a lifeline through Christian Aid funded small business training and she set up as a grocery wholesaler. This meant Aline achieved what had seemed impossible, a vital income for her and her children.
With your help, we can ensure more people around the world get the skills and knowledge they need to fulfil their hopes and ambitions.
Please join us for FREE coffee and cake on Saturday May 18th at All Saints Church Hall from 10am to 12pm.
Donate and help someone push back against poverty this Christian Aid Week.
