So why should you spend time and effort raising money for Christian Aid? Why push yourself that extra mile on the marathon course? Why spend your time making soup? Why walk through the night in the freezing cold?
Because every time you do, you make a difference.
At Christian Aid we believe in equality, justice and basic human rights. Every event you get involved in raises money for the world’s poorest people. Whether you raise five pounds or five hundred pounds, every penny of it counts.
At Christian Aid our essential purpose is to:
to expose the scandal of poverty
to help in practical ways to root it out from the world
to challenge and change structures and systems that favour the rich and powerful over the poor and marginalised.
What happens to the money I raise?
One of the most fantastic things about raising money for Christian Aid is knowing that such a small amount can make such a big difference.
The money you raise goes straight to our work in the developing world, it might be sent to a partner who needs to supply food to Burmese refugees; or are setting up a project to supply solar power to people in Malawi; or it might go straight to the point of a humanitarian emergency.
