My story

We're fundraising this Christian Aid Week to support families facing hunger. 

In Nairobi, parents like Fridah are growing food in small spaces to make sure their children can eat. With support from Christian Aid and Beacon of Hope, families are learning how to grow food and build more secure futures. 

The debt crisis in Kenya is trapping people like Fridah in poverty. Kenya spends more paying back debt than it does on public servcies, such as health care and education. 

Do join us at our fundraising brunch on 3 May or make a donation, however small, to our appeal. Thank you for any support you’re able to give.

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.
