11th-17th May 2025
Christian Aid has been working tirelessly for the last 80 years to end poverty worldwide. This year the focus in Christian Aid week is on climate change and the effect it is having on farmers in Guatemala, Central America. Gruelling heatwaves and extreme weather are ravaging the farms of indigenous communities. The people in these communities have done the least to cause the climate crisis, yet they endure its impact the most. Working through their local partner, Congcoop, Christian Aid is helping to provide vital agricultural training and tools that unlock climate resilient farming methods. By donating during Christian Aid Week, you can help these farmers to protect their communities from hunger and poverty.
As in previous years, we shall be distributing envelopes and hope to reach every house in Goring and Streatley. This is quite a big undertaking and we would welcome offers of help. If you are able to help please get in touch with the Benefice Office.
Please note that the envelopes should only be delivered to houses between 11th and 17th May and that we ask people to take their donations to collection points in the village.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
