What is Christian Aid Week?

Christian Aid Week is a powerful expression of what can happen when compassion leads to action.

It's our shared moment to come together – across churches, communities and households – to stand alongside people living in poverty around the world.

For one week each year, thousands of people across the island of Ireland give, fundraise, pray and act together. Together, those actions make change possible.

Where hardship means hunger

…urban farmers can grow hope.

In the crowded and bustling settlements of Nairobi, most parents wake every single day knowing that they must go and earn money, otherwise their children won’t eat that evening. 

It’s a precarious and frightening daily struggle that no family should have to face.

But with tools and training from our partner, Beacon of Hope, parents are farming vegetables in a small city plot to feed their families and earn an income.

Together, we must support families escape the cruel grip of urban poverty.
