My story

I’m fundraising for Christian Aid this Harvest, to help farmers facing climate chaos and food insecurity. 

Powerful storms wash away crops, and prolonged droughts wither plants. Traditional farming methods are increasingly ineffective in the face of extreme weather and changing climates. Even experienced farmers like Nyarai in Zimbabwe urgently need to learn new skills to prevent hunger and malnutrition.

Christian Aid is working to empower farmers like Nyarai to become more resilient. For example, their partners provide training in sustainable farming techniques that can withstand extreme weather. This helps farmers maintain their livelihoods and feed their families.

The money raised can help ensure more farmers get the skills and knowledge they need to secure their future. 

Thank you for your support!

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.
