| 'Special Days' - Christian Aid |

Helping Poor Communities
£11 can buy 300 banana seeds for a poor family farming in Bolivia. The bananas provide valuable extra food for the family’s children.
£30 can provide a rainwater tank in Bangladesh. This helps a family to collect enough clean drinking water to last for at least six months each year.
£51 can train a member of a poor Ghanaian community to apply for funds released to their government after the year 2000 'Drop the Debt' campaign. This helps many people get access to education, healthcare and transport. (Return to top)

Prayer for Christian Aid Week
God of the rushing wind, sweep through my indifference.
God of the fiery flames, ignite my compassion.
God of the many voices, open my mouth to speak out against injustice
that through your Spirit and my actions this world may be transformed.
Amen. (Return to top)
