Organisation Profile | Christian Aid
Christian Aid is a development organisation that insists the world can and must be swiftly changed to one where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. We work globally for profound change that eradicates the causes of poverty, striving to achieve equality, dignity and freedom for all, regardless of faith or nationality. We are part of a wider movement for social justice. We provide urgent, practical and effective assistance where need is great, tackling the effects of poverty as well as its root causes.
Key themes: climate change, Mid East/Isr-Palestine, poverty (global)Partner location: UK-wide
We support local campaign groups to raise awareness and lobby on issues that matter to the developing world. We also rely on volunteers fundraisers to generate support for projects that lift people out of poverty. For more details, get in touch.

Time for Climate Justice The UK has no genuinely meaningful emissions targets. There is inadequate funding for people in poor countries to adapt to climate change. Copenhagen failed. Christian Aid believes lives will be lost if we settle for this. That, however, is the last thing on our minds.
The Big Tax Return Poor countries have the riches to help work their own way out of poverty. But it’s multinational companies that are reaping the rewards. A worldwide culture of financial secrecy allows tax-dodging firms to rob poor countries of more than $160bn a year. The Big Tax Return, is about plugging this leak – and getting poor countries their money back.
