This year, Christian Aid is shining a light on the devastating reality of urban poverty in Kenya, sharing stories of people like Fridah, for whom it’s a daily struggle to feed their children: with secure jobs hard to find, and most people earning less than a dollar a day to cover school costs, rent and water, some days there isn’t enough for a meal.
But with tools, seeds and specialist training, families are learning how to make the most of small spaces to grow a steady supply of fresh vegetables to cook and sell.
They are working with Christian Aid’s partner, Beacon of Hope – a faith-based NGO – on projects such as Imarisha Kilimo – which means “strengthen agriculture” in Swahili. The aim is to tackle food insecurity by providing training and practical support to set up climate-smart, small space urban farms.
For further information, see the Christian Aid website.
Christian Aid has a range of worship resources to download, with many in English or Welsh, including an order of service, all age service presentation and speaker notes, daily devotional, prayer sheet and children’s activity sheet. They’re available on the Christian Aid website.
Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI) is part of the group of ‘sponsoring churches’ of Christian Aid.
