Story

Many thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Christian Aid's new match-funded project in El Salvador and Honduras will empower indigenous communities to claim their rights to sexual and reproductive health. Our partners will train traditional birth attendants to provide healthcare, including family planning, and they will ensure that contraceptive supplies are readily available. Through innovative work in health facilities, this project will make sure women from indigenous communities are welcomed, not excluded. Our partners will educate teachers, heads of families and pupils on family planning, HIV, pregnancy and sexual and gender based violence. By building up civil society and recording findings from these projects, our partners will push for change at a national level. Through the project, an incredible 200,113 women of child-bearing age will be helped – and a further 566,955 in the target areas will indirectly benefit.

Your  support will do something amazing – you will bring justice to these communities.

The EU is match funding this project 1:3, so your £5,000 will become a staggering £20,000 to support some of the poorest communities in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
