My story

Thank you for opening the Christian Aid Week digital envelope for Bridge of Weir. Now please help to fill it up! 

For nearly 80 years Christian Aid has played a vital role in tackling poverty and the causes of poverty. 

Always working with local partners, Christian Aid currently works in 29 countries not only tackling poverty and the causes of poverty but bringing hope in seemingly hopeless situations.  Supporting refugees in South Sudan, rebuilding lives in Ukraine, relief for people in Gaza, developing rural enterprises in Malawi.  This year’s Christian Aid Week story takes us to an “informal settlement” in Nairobi. Creating hope and sustainable development by literally “growing hope in a small city space”.  (see below) 

But it can only do this with your help.  Please give generously by clicking on the "Donate" button.

If you are a tax payer, remember to tick the gift aid box. Each year, this gift aid bonus raises an additional £1,000 from Bridge of Weir donations alone. 

Thank you again for your support.

How your money helps

You can support families facing the daily stress of food insecurity in Nairobi.

In the crowded and noisy settlements of Nairobi, parents like Fridah wake up knowing they must earn money – otherwise their children won’t eat that evening. But with tools, seeds and training from our partner, Beacon of Hope, families can grow nutritious vegetables in small city spaces and grow hope for the future.

Every pound you raise could help:

  • provide seeds and tools so people can grow food in small spaces.
  • fund training so people can plan ahead and protect their livelihoods.
  • support community-led projects that strengthen food security and incomes.
