Christmas Appeal

This Christmas, will you help people break the cycle of poverty and bring joy?

It’s not God’s plan for anyone to live in poverty, but countless people around the world are stuck unable to provide for their family. This Christmas, you can help families around the world break the cycle of poverty and bring joy.

When the worst drought in 40 years hit Kenya, Lokhu (pictured below) – who lives in Marsabit County – could no longer afford to keep her children in school. Hunger quickly became a frightening reality for her family, who went from having two meals a day to just one. And, as they live five miles from the closest borehole, without water they were not going to survive.

Standing strong

Thanks to your kindness, Tearfund responded quickly through our church partner to provide emergency support. Since then, together we have helped the community rebuild and introduced vital training so people would not be so severely impacted by climate change. This has included drought-resistant farming techniques, so families can stand strong in the face of the climate crisis.

Many more people around the world urgently need the life-changing training Lokhu’s community had. Your kind gift this Christmas could help someone like Lokhu leave poverty for good.

Poverty is not God’s plan. You are. And your gift today can help people around the world to break free from it.
