This Christian Aid Week, we focus on Guatemala, where the climate crisis is destroying crops and causing hunger for Indigenous communities. But with training from Christian Aid's partners, farmers like Aurelia are fighting back. Through Christian Aid’s partner, Congcoop, Aurelia is learning to grow resilient crops, make fertiliser and conserve water. She’s sharing this knowledge with others, helping her community build a sustainable future.
Please sponsor our kayakers and donate to our church collection to help us support our global neighbours in the fight against hunger and the climate crisis.
