What work do christian aid do?
Christian Aid, international development charity. We work with people, of all faiths and none, in around 50 countries, to combat poverty and injustice. Christian Aid is one of the biggest international development agencies in the world. It was formed and is still backed by the major Christian churches in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It works with local partner organisations in over 60 countries around the world to help the world’s poorest communities. Christian Aid claims to work where the need is greatest, regardless of religion or race. Christian Aid campaigns to change the rules and systems that keep people poor, speaking out on issues such as trade justice, climate change, and Third World debt. It is a major member of the Trade Justice Movement and Make Poverty History campaigns. Christian Aid also organises the UK’s largest door to door collection, Christian Aid Week, which happens in the second week of May each year. The money raised makes up around 20% of the charity’s total
