My story

Christian Aid is a relief and development charity that works to support sustainable development, eradicate poverty and provide disaster relief around the world to people of all religions. 

Christian Aid’s funds go directly to their local partners, not to Governments. 

This year the focus will especially be on families facing hunger in Nairobi. Parents like Fridah are growing food in small city spaces so their children can eat. With tools, seeds and training, families can plan for the future. 

There will not be a door to door envelope collection in the village this year. If you wish to donate to Christian Aid then please do so by clicking the DONATE button.

Please give what you can this Christian Aid Week.

How your money helps

You can support families facing the daily stress of food insecurity in Nairobi.

In the crowded and noisy settlements of Nairobi, parents like Fridah wake up knowing they must earn money – otherwise their children won’t eat that evening. But with tools, seeds and training from our partner, Beacon of Hope, families can grow nutritious vegetables in small city spaces and grow hope for the future.

Every pound you raise could help:

  • provide seeds and tools so people can grow food in small spaces.
  • fund training so people can plan ahead and protect their livelihoods.
  • support community-led projects that strengthen food security and incomes.
