  Time needed: Around 1–2 hours per week (flexible to suit you).

The Organisation

Christian Aid was born out of faith in action. Since our establishment in 1945, in response to the refugee crisis in post-war Europe, we have stood alongside people in their moments of greatest need, while working to address the underlying causes of poverty and injustice. Grounded in our Christian identity, we believe everyone should be treated with equal dignity, have the opportunity to realise their rights and fulfil their God-given potential. Our values of love, dignity, equality and justice guide how we work and the partnerships we build with people of all faiths and beliefs.

Today, Christian Aid works alongside communities and local partners across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America and the Caribbean to respond to crises, strengthen resilience and tackle poverty at its roots. We believe people affected by poverty are best placed to lead change in their own lives, and we work with them to develop sustainable solutions and strengthen their influence. Through partnership, advocacy and the support of churches, we seek to challenge the systems that perpetuate poverty and build a more just and peaceful world.
