This year’s theme is based around helping to turn hunger into hope.
As our planet is changing, some people are feeling the effects more than others. Weather extremes are now more frequent and more intense, and the world is facing a climate crisis.
For the first time in a generation, global poverty is rising. Coronavirus, conflict and the climate crisis are pushing more of our global neighbours into a struggle for survival.
One country that is on the front lines of this crisis is Zimbabwe. In rural Zimbabwe, seven out of ten women rely on farming to earn a living and provide for their families. But the climate crisis has brought intense droughts that have left their land barren. So far, Christian Aid has helped over 27,000 people in Zimbabwe to stand strong and resilient to the climate crisis. But there is still more to do.
