In Nairobi’s crowded settlements, many parents wake each day knowing if they don’t earn money, their children won’t eat. With little work, low pay and no support, families face constant hunger and stress.

Fridah Moraa, a recently widowed grandmother, carries this burden alone. “Sometimes I don’t have food,” she says. With rent, school and water costs, feeding her family is a daily struggle.

But with faith, determination, and support from Christian Aid’s partner, Beacon of Hope, Fridah is growing vegetables in a small city space to feed her family and earn income. “Urban farming has changed my life,” she says.

This Christian Aid Week (10–16 May), your support can help families like Fridah’s grow food and hope.
