Justice and compassion

The scandal of a world that could feed and give opportunity to all its people yet chooses not to do so drives Christian Aid and our supporters. 

Holding handsTogether we work and campaign for the justice that brings food in time of crisis, clean water to the heart of a village, that brings transformative education to a young girl’s life or training in the business skills that help a subsistence farmer to a sustainable living.

Impelled by compassion and hungering for justice, people regularly pray, act and give in support of our work. Many want to do more than their resources will allow during their lifetime. 

Every year hundreds of people like this choose to leave a gift in their will – and those gifts may be anything from a few hundred pounds to very many thousands. Even the smallest of these gifts will often be the largest gift that supporter will ever have been able to make. Each legacy is valued and a precious contribution to our work with poor communities.

While Christian Aid will only receive and use the gift after their death, each supporter’s decision is very much one of life. Inspired by the words ‘we believe in life before death,’ people who leave a gift in their will want their legacy to build a more just world. 

Please consider your legacy and after remembering family and friends, support our work with a gift in your will.
