Christian Aid Week 12th - 18th May
Last year Little Gaddesden raised over £1000 for Christian Aid Week. This year we are hoping to raise even more through this online envelope, collections held in church on 12th and 19th May and our Strawberry Cream Tea at 3pm on Saturday 18th May in the Thomas Field Hall.
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.
You can help ensure more people in Burundi get the skills and knowledge they need to fulfil their hopes and ambitions.
Please click below to donate and help someone push back against poverty this Christian Aid Week and also share this envelope with your family and friends.
Thank you.
