In Their Lifetime (ITL) - Christian Aid

With the help of supporters, we will invest in high impact, solutions-focused projects which will help us achieve transformative change for families and communities, within their lifetimes.

What have we achieved so far

In its first 10 years, with the incredible generosity of In Their Lifetime supporters, Christian Aid was able to test pioneering approaches to tackling poverty in over 20 countries, directly impacting the lives of tens of thousands of women, men and children around the world.

Help us take the next leap forward:

The current phase of the In Their Lifetime Appeal was launched in January 2021. This 5 year appeal seeks to continue the transformative impact of this initiative. Funds raised will be invested in projects which have both direct human impact on communities around the world, and instigate greater change, by focusing in on the key challenges, gaps and opportunities where targeted investment could have a huge impact. Armed with that knowledge and your support, we get ever closer to our ultimate goal – to see an end to poverty, inequality and injustice.
