How your quiz will make a difference.

Zuleima is a 35-year-old mother of three from Venezuela. It is a country struggling beneath the weight of a massive economic crisis. Zuleima would have to queue for up to two days to get into a supermarket only to find that there was no food left when she got in.

Zuleima shares: I said to myself: This is not what I want for my children. This is not what I want for myself, for my family.

Along with more than a million other Venezuelans, Zuleima made the decision to flee to neighbouring Colombia. [I was] leaving my house, my home, my memories, Zuleima says, It was very difficult to leave it all behind.

The money you raise will transform the lives of people like Zuleima. With an economic crisis hitting her home country of Venezuela, she was faced with a choice: starve, or flee. Now a refugee in Colombia, she would have struggled to survive if it weren't for the support of the church. Stories like hers are why we do this.

A gift of £24 could provide two women like Zuliema with the training and tools they need to provide a better future for their families

A gift of £360 could enable a church to provide training and equipment to 30 vulnerable women like Zuliema, paving the way for a more stable future for their families
