All Commitments made by Christian Aid

Our Aims
We stand together. For dignity. For equality. For justice.
Everyone is equal in the sight of God. Yet we live in a world where poverty still persists.
Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of their dignity and lets injustice thrive. But together we have the power to transform lives. 
For over 70 years, we’ve been standing with the poorest of our neighbours. We work in 37 countries, with people of all faiths and none, to stand up for dignity, equality and justice. 
We stand together with our global neighbours like Vilia in Haiti. Together we can create a world where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. 
Our voices and actions are stronger together. And with your help, we can make an even bigger difference.
