Story

Together, we can support families with the practical help they need.

Maria and her family had to flee their home because of the conflict in Ukraine.

Winter in Ukraine can be as cold as -20C - the situation looked bleak. “We realised we wouldn’t be able to afford firewood,” said Maria.

Our local Church partner gave Maria and her family the help they needed – firewood. They could heat their home, cook hot meals and keep warm through the freezing temperatures.

It's not just families in Ukraine that face uncertain futures. Around the world, long-lasting emergencies are making it harder for families to survive.

A gift from you today will make such a big difference.
