Christian Aid - what on earth is that?

Christian Aid is a charity in the UK and Ireland that works with people in poor countries around the world. It believes in "Life before death".

What does that mean?

Christian Aid wants everyone, everywhere to have a decent life ­ it wants people to:
  • have enough food to eat and clean water to drink
  • have somewhere safe to live
  • have medicine when they are sick
  • be able to go to school

Herbert Asio in Uganda
Herbert Asio, 10, lives in Uganda. Thanks to many people around the world taking action and asking the rich governments to "Drop the Debt", Herbert and his family have a better life. The government of Uganda can now spend money on teaching people how to grow their own vegetables and look after animals, instead of paying money to rich countries. Herbert helps look after Ida, the family's cow.
