Aline's Story
In Burundi, malnourishment and poverty affect more than 70% of the population, putting them at the edge of survival.
Coming back from the edge isn't easy when food can be scarce, disease prevalent, and jobs hard to come by. If you have a home, chances are there's no electricity or running water, and it may not even survive the next storm.
Aline felt the full force of extreme poverty when an early marriage ended in abuse and violence. She was forced to sleep on the streets of Burundi. With no home, healthcare or security, Aline was pushed to the brink of survival.
‘People forgot I was human.’
But Aline pushed back. She found a lifeline through Christian Aid funded small business training and she set up as a grocery wholesaler. This meant Aline achieved what had seemed impossible, a vital income for her and her children.
‘When we see Christian Aid, we feel comforted; we feel we are not alone. You helped us to change our poor living conditions. I really thank you from the very bottom of my heart.’
