Christian Aid is a global movement of people, churches and local organisations. They are the changemakers, the peacemakers, the mighty of heart.

Eradicating poverty

Everyone is equal in the sight of God

For over 75 years, this truth has inspired them to stand together in solidarity with their most marginalised global neighbours, of all faiths and none. Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of their dignity and lets injustice thrive. They seek to eradicate extreme poverty by tackling its root causes. Together with people living in poverty, they amplify their voices to speak truth to power and create lasting change. 

We stand together. For dignity. For equality. For justice.

Together with our supporters and partners, we aim:

• to expose poverty throughout the world
• to help in practical ways to end it
• to highlight, challenge and change the structures and systems that favour the rich and powerful over the poor and marginalised.

What They Do

Christian Aid works with local partners and communities to fight injustice, respond to humanitarian emergencies, campaign for change, and help people claim the services and rights they are entitled to. They aim to end poverty and injustice worldwide by focusing on four key areas – see below. This involves working in partnership with local organisations, as well as with governments and the private sector.

Their work includes helping people to:

• claim their rights and access services such as healthcare and education
• ensure they are not discriminated against for any reason
• become more resilient to shocks and disasters such as drought, climate change and hurricanes
• make the most of opportunities, such as being able to sell their produce for a fair price.
