Stitching A Future For Herself
Are you as brave as this 15-year-old girl?
We believe that God calls us to love our global neighbours and is at work in the world. As a Christian organisation, our faith motivates us. And we believe he has called us to end poverty so that all people may enjoy fullness of life as he intends.
It was inevitable that our world would emerge from the pandemic with the most vulnerable suffering the worst aftershocks. But we were all likely naïve about the possibility of emerging into a ‘polycrisis’ of severe and mutually reinforcing events and contexts. Devastatingly, the confluence of COVID, rising conflict, climate change and the escalation of inflation—in some cases occurring in previously relatively stable environments—now means that previous expectations that we would eliminate extreme poverty and end hunger by 2030 seem unlikely.
In such times as these, the work of our local Christian Partners is of heightened importance. We thank God for this work over this last financial year—resulting in 781,528 lives impacted through our international programming initiatives.
We are a global community of people, doing great work, on a foundation of great faith. To God be the glory!
