Maryama's story

How your money helps

Maryama’s community in Sierra Leone is facing the harsh impacts of the climate crisis. With support from Christian Aid and our partners, she is part of a Village Savings and Loans Association, gaining access to small loans and training that help her adapt her farming and provide for her family.

The money you raise for The Sheep's Head Hike could help raise funds for vital training, seeds and tools for farmers like Maryama, helping them secure their harvests and build a hopeful future.
