Many children want to be computer whizzes, and you can help them through Christian Aid.

Schemes like that of Christian Aid’s partner AMO-Congo (A Better Future for Orphans) give them a chance to do just that.

Often the solutions to poverty are quite surprising! A water buffalo and calf is a prime example. Sara Makram lives in a very poor community in Egypt. She has six daughters to care for and the water buffalo she was able to buy through a loan from Christian Aid partner COC Bless, has made an amazing difference to her family.

It may not be a swish racer but a bike like this from Christian Aid really helps the people of Malawi. In a land where cars are very rare, a bike is essential in helping the HIV workers of the Likulezi project reach those living in outlying areas.
