Hutton Rudby Village Collection Christian Aid Week 2022
Patricia Searle is raising money for Christian Aid
Story
Every May in Christian Aid Week, volunteers from the Village of Hutton Rudby, North Yorkshire, collect door to door to support Christian Aid's work in 37 countries across the world. Last year with your support the Village raised over £3500.00 to support Christian Aid.
This Christian Aid Week, due to the Coronavirus Pandemic there will again be no door to door collection as such, although there will be donation points clearly marked around the Village.
In Zimbabwe, the climate crisis is causing aching hunger for families like Jessica’s.
The combined effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, conflict, and drought have robbed her of the power to provide for her children.
And 7,000 miles away, the war in Ukraine will drive up food prices in Zimbabwe, and around the globe.
Without the fertiliser and food - like wheat and cooking oil - that Ukraine and Russia produce, vulnerable families will be pushed even deeper into hunger.
But hope does not disappoint. Hope lives in you.
Your gifts this Christian Aid Week could help Jessica set up water taps on her farm, learn to grow food, and provide seeds that thrive in drought – giving her all she needs to turn her dry, dusty land into a garden of hope.
Your gift will help support Christian Aid's vital work with some of the poorest communities in the world.Thank you!
