My story

I’m taking on 70K in May to help communities fight the climate crisis. This means I’ll be covering 70 kilometres in different ways in solidarity with millions of people who have to walk long distances for clean water or to sell their produce. 

British government overseas aid has reduced again recently, so this help is needed more than ever. 

In Guatemala, farmers are battling extreme weather, but with Christian Aid’s support, they’re learning skills to protect their farms and provide for their families. 

Your support can help fund this training.  £20 could buy two pounds of climate-resilient seeds, diversifying a family’s crop and increasing their resilience against the effects of the climate crisis.

How your money helps

This Christian Aid Week, you can support communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

In places like Guatemala, extreme weather is destroying crops, deepening hunger and threatening livelihoods. But with the right tools and training, farmers can build sustainable futures.  

Every pound you raise could help:

  • Provide climate-resilient seeds to help families grow food.
  • Fund water conservation techniques to protect crops.
  • Support vital training so farmers can build a sustainable future.
