Christmas Appeal

This Christmas, will you DOUBLE your impact?

Countless people around the world like Malich (pictured above) are unable to provide for their family. This Christmas, you can help families around the world break the cycle of poverty and bring joy.

If you're based in Northern Ireland, your gift will be matched by SPAR, EUROSPAR, ViVO and ViVOXTRA up to £350,000 until 31 January 2025. And if you set up a new monthly gift in response to this appeal, the first three months of your giving will be matched too!

When the worst drought in 40 years hit Kenya, Lokhu (pictured below) – who, like Malich, 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 doubled this Christmas could help someone like Lokhu break the cycle of poverty for good.
