This week, 13-19 May 2012, is Christian Aid Week.
Christian Aid is a organisation that insists the world can and must be swiftly changed to one where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty.
They work globally for profound change that eradicates the causes of poverty, striving to achieve equality, dignity and freedom for all, regardless of faith or nationality. They are part of a wider movement for social justice.
They provide urgent, practical and effective assistance where need is great, tackling the effects of poverty as well as its root causes.
