Members of the Arapai Youth Group in Uganda are working together to earn a living. They are digging ponds so they can start a fish farm. The 'Drop the Debt' campaign helped because the government of Uganda can now spend money on helping people to start their own businesses. |

How can Christian Aid help make this happen?Christian Aid works by helping people to help themselves. It gives money to organisations in poor countries to find ways of helping people to have a better future. And it doesn't matter what their religion is, Christian Aid helps people whatever they believe in. Christian Aid also campaigns to change the things that keep people poor. This means it takes action and speaks out about things that are unfair. But Christian Aid can't do it all by itself. It needs people to help, people like you. |
