Every gift. Every action. Every prayer. Every one of us can change lives.

Soaring costs are affecting people here and around the world.

Families in Malawi are paying the price of this global crisis.

Food, fuel, fertiliser and school fees have doubled in price in the last 12 months. And hard-working farmers are seeing their harvests fail as the climate crisis brings increasingly erratic weather.

Malawi Cyclone Update

Christian Aid Week is at its most powerful when a disaster happens. Through you, we will be there long after the flood waters recede, helping families build back. Your gifts this May will continue to support the pigeon pea project and other vital work around the world. 

The impact of the recent Cyclone Freddy in Malawi has been devastating.
Floods have washed away crops, over 500,000 people have been displaced and hundreds have lost their lives
