For the first time in a generation, global poverty is rising. Covid-19, conflict, and the climate crisis are pushing more of our global neighbours into a struggle for survival. For Jessica, a loving mum in Zimbabwe, drought means every day is a struggle for survival. Like many women, she toils on her farm, but no food can grow on her ashen dry land. She shares her heartbreak: 'My children crave a decent meal, but I can't provide. We often go to bed on an empty stomach. It pains me to send them to bed hungry'. By supporting our fundraising with whatever you can afford, together, we can make a real difference to families just like Jessica's. With support from Christian Aid partners Jessica can learn how to sow drought tolerant crops and how to grow food in dry seasons. She could build a storeroom to preserve food and bounce back from future droughts.Please give today, and help this loving mum provide food for her family. Thank you.

You can also come along to our cafe' & plant sale on the 21st May at 10 am in St Mary's - see the post below. Our church has  started an Eco-church project as everything we do here to combat climate change and increase bio-diversity also helps reduce the climate crisis for Jessica and her family. Thanks to our eco-church team and cafe' teams for their support.
