Christian Aid works to build a world free from poverty, driven by our core values of dignity, equality, justice and love. Christian Aids ground breaking work began in 1945, when we were founded by British and Irish churches to help refugees following the Second World War. For more than 70 years, we have provided long-term development support and humanitarian relief for affected communities worldwide, while highlighting suffering, tackling injustice and championing peoples rights. Thank you for standing alongside us as we respond in practical ways to expose and eradicate poverty.
