Soaring costs are affecting people here and around the world.

Families in Malawi are paying the price of this global crisis.

Food, fuel, fertiliser and school fees have doubled in price in the last 12 months. And hard-working famers are seeing their harvests fail as the climate crisis brings increasingly erratic weather.

We won’t stop until everyone has the chance to live a full life, free from poverty. We are united in hope that, with your help, more young people will be able to transform their lives.

 

Give, act and pray this Christian Aid Week.

Jen's story

Jen, a loving mum in Malawi, dreams of her children being able to have the education they deserve. Her hard-working boys have earned places at top colleges – but Jen cannot afford to send them both.

Esther's story

Softly-spoken Esther Saizi radiates joy and warmth.

Esther grows some truly special pigeon peas on her farm - with them she can bake delicious bread, support her daughter’s dreams, and give her adorable little grandsons a happy future, full of love and laughter.

But she wasn't always able to support her family so easily.

Find out how Christian Aid Week donations like yours made this life change possible for Esther.
