Christmas Appeal

Make dreams a reality this Christmas

This Christmas, people all around the world are living in poverty. But together we can help them unlock their potential. Through your donations we can equip whole communities with the training and skills they need to lift themselves out of extreme poverty.

Your donation doubled!

This Christmas, your gift will have twice the impact. Your donation doubled could equip people like Isaac with agricultural skills so they can grow their own income and become self-sufficient.

Help us transform communities

Around the world, Tearfund is equipping communities living in poverty with life-changing training so their dreams can become a reality.

Isaac lives in Chad and is a young father of two children. Having children meant he wasn’t able to continue his studies. He struggled to earn enough to provide clothes and schooling for his children. Sometimes he felt so discouraged, he wondered if life was worth living.

'Where is my worth if I don't have the ability to cover my family's basic needs?' he said.

By giving today, you could help people like Isaac learn new farming methods to grow their own income and be self-sufficient.

When Tearfund’s local partner delivered training at his church, Isaac learned that he doesn’t have to remain in poverty – his community already has the resources they need. He learned farming and gardening techniques so he can grow vegetables to feed his family, and sell some of his harvest.

'I find courage and the joy of living with the income earned from farming. I use it for food, school fees, buying medicine and other needs.'

Your donation doubled could help other communities like Isaac’s learn the skills they need to lift themselves out of poverty. Please give this Christmas to help us make more dreams a reality.
