We aim to end poverty and injustice worldwide by focusing on five key areas. This involves working in partnership with local organisations, as well as with governments and the private sector.

Our work includes helping people to:

  • claim their rights and access services such as healthcare and education
  • ensure they are not discriminated against for any reason
  • become more resilient to shocks and disasters such as drought, climate change and hurricanes
  • make the most of opportunities, such as being able to sell their produce for a fair price. 

 

Areas of work

Gender, power and inclusion

Unequal distribution of power - most pervasive between women and men - is at the heart of poverty.

Humanitarian

We've been responding to humanitarian emergencies and disasters since 1945, providing urgently needed immediate relief and long-term support.

From violence to peace

Violence is a prime agent of poverty, capable of erasing years of development and destroying communities.

Climate adaptation and resilience

We work with local partners and crisis-affected communities on the causes and consequences of climate change.

Governance and rights

Our work aims to drive systemic change and accountability in communities everywhere.

Building resilience with local partners

Intense urban poverty in Nairobi is robbing parents of the ability to protect their children from hunger. But with tools and training from our partner, Beacon of Hope, Fridah’s farming vegetables in a small city plot to feed her family and earn an income.

Our work is helping communities to escape the cruel grip of urban poverty.

This Christian Aid Week, join us to help help parents access opportunities to earn an income that feeds their children and builds a brighter future.
