Whether this is your first Christmas without your loved one, or one of many, our thoughts and prayers are with you. We understand that this time of year can be especially hard and can bring back many memories of special times.
And just as your loved one’s light will never fade for you, it can also shine brightly for the people who need our support this Christmas.
This Christmas, your gifts in memory will help us stand together with mums like Adut, and help the next generation grow.
Climate chaos in South Sudan forced Adut to give her three children dirty water. She knew it wasn’t safe, but she had no choice. Now, with clean water, nutritious food and ways to earn money, mums like Adut won’t have to make such impossible choices.
A gift in memory this Christmas can not only help families in South Sudan and around the world stand strong, but says so much about the person it honours.
'Then we remember that Spring will follow Winter, the flowers will grow again, and we can remember and rejoice that our loved ones lived...'
Here, Christian Aid supporter Rev Maggie Roderick shares a reflection on love, loss and remembrance at Christmas time.
For those remembering loved ones, you may be lighting candles, spending quiet moments of reflection, and bringing to mind special Christmas memories shared together.
As you remember your loved ones this Christmas, we invite you to share your own stories, memories and photos to celebrate and your loved ones on our ‘Lights that always shine’ memory wall.
Through partnerships with UK Aid, Irish Aid, the Scottish Government, European Commission, USAID and other key donors and partners, we're able to work together and help make a large-scale, deep and lasting difference to people’s lives.
