My story

This Christian Aid Week, we are fundraising to support communities facing the climate crisis and hunger. 

Christian Aid is actively working in Guatemala to support communities facing the challenges of climate change and poverty. In the Alta Verapaz region, where 90% of people live in poverty, Christian Aid is partnering with local organizations like Congcoop to help Indigenous Q’eqchi’ communities. They are providing agricultural training and resources to make farming more climate-resilient. This includes teaching innovative techniques like making organic fertilizers, constructing rainwater collection systems, and growing diverse crops.

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.
