Christian Aid Week 10-16 May
Plant Sale Saturday 16 May 10-2

Where hardship means hunger… urban farmers can grow hope.
In the crowded and noisy settlements of Nairobi, most parents wake every single day knowing that they must go and earn money, otherwise their children won’t eat that evening.
With no formal work opportunities, heartbreakingly low pay, and no social support, it’s a precarious and frightening daily struggle that no family should have to face.
The aching hunger is bad enough. The relentless stress is overwhelming. ‘When I wake up, I have a lot of worries. Sometimes I don't have food,’ says Fridah Moraa, a recently widowed grandmother determined to support her family on what little she earns.

‘Now I'm responsible for everything.’ With school costs, rent and water to cover, providing food for every meal is a problem that never goes away.
But Fridah’s faith in God, and in her own ability to provide, is unwavering. With tools, seeds and specialist training from Christian Aid’s partner, Beacon of Hope, Fridah’s now making the most of a small space in the city to grow a steady supply of fresh vegetables that she can cook for her family or sell on her market stall.
Reflecting on her new role in life, Fridah says: 'I never thought that a woman could also be a provider.’
With her inner strength, unstoppable resolve, and a little help from Beacon of Hope, Fridah is overcoming poverty to feed the youngest members of her family and protect them from the threat of malnutrition.
Fridah rightly takes pride in all she’s achieving: ‘When I harvest what I’ve planted, it makes me happy. Urban farming has changed my life.’

Christian Aid and its supporters are joining together once again during Christian Aid Week (10-16 May) to fundraise in all kinds of ways – from coffee mornings and craft stalls to hiking and biking for the 70k in May challenge.
With seven days to make a difference, every gift, act and prayer counts. What will you do to support someone like Fridah to grow food, protect their children from hunger, and nurture hope?
Thank you so much to everyone who has planted flowers and has already offered to bake cakes and make soup. If you would like to volunteer in any way, please sign up.
Please download and post our attached plant sale poster in any suitable places you may know. Many thanks.
