My story

Christian Aid Week raises funds to provide tools and training to help end poverty. Each year, we focus on one of our development projects to show the ways we work. This year we feature Guatemala, where the climate crisis is destroying crops and causing hunger for Indigenous communities. But with training, farmers are fighting back. 

Extreme heatwaves have killed crops, local farmers are learning to grow resilient crops, make fertiliser and conserve water. They share this knowledge with others, helping their 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.
