In Guatemala, the climate crisis is destroying crops and causing hunger for Indigenous communities. But with training, farmers like Aurelia are fighting back.
Aurelia has faced extreme heatwaves that have killed her crops, but through Christian Aid’s partner, Congcoop, she’s learning to grow resilient crops, make fertiliser and conserve water. She’s sharing this knowledge with others, helping her community build a sustainable future.
This Christian Aid Week, please give to support farmers in the fight against hunger and the climate crisis.

Sign the Petition
Right now, the climate and debt crises are trapping people in poverty – cuts to UK aid will make this worse.
We reject the false choice between defence spending and supporting people in crisis.
The UK Government can step up action on poverty without costing the average UK taxpayer. It could make reckless polluters pay for climate action. It could make greedy lenders cancel debts.
Hope has compelled us to stand up to injustice before.
We created the Fairtrade movement, that’s benefited farmers worldwide. We pressured the G8 to cancel billions of dollars of debt owed by low-income countries.
Together we can harness the unstoppable power of hope again.
Join God’s work to restore creation and see the flourishing of all people.
Sign the petition, now.
