In places like South Sudan, for families like Shede's, the daily struggle is not just for safety but also to protect their children from hunger and malnutrition. Having left everything behind, they arrive in refugee settlements with just the clothes they fled in.
Even resilient individuals now face an uncertain future. But with your help, we can support families like hers to buy food and lifesaving supplies.
By giving up just a little of our Christmas, (for example by forgoing or creating our own Christmas Crackers), we could donate their cost to help families like Shede's find comfort during conflict.
This Christmas, as we celebrate, please give what you can, and also pray that it will be possible to make a brighter more peaceful future for them.
Thank you so much
Jill Henderson, Christian Aid Organiser, Bridport and District Churches Together

Congratulations! This activity has reached its target of £450.00
As we begin to face the hopes and uncertainties of the new year to come, thank you all for responding kindly to the need of the people caught up in the civil war in Sudan.
Like Shede and her daughter Saida, most of them have fled in fear with very little, to the safety of places like Wedwell Refugee Camp, ran by Christian Aid partner Smile Again Africa Development Organisation (SAADO).
Finally, a word from Daniel Auyen, Food Security and Livelihoods Programme Manager at Wedwell, who says:
"I was born and raised in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya. I really understand what the people I work with are going through. I've lived their problems. I received help from people I never met - I don't even know their names.
But their support helped me to become who I am today. I feel a duty to give back now and share my story. Because people like me who receive support, will go on to repay it by working to make the world a better place."
