Christian Aid have launched an on-line petition to drop Haiti’s debt. Please sign this petition.
Join the call for the full cancellation of Haiti’s debt of $890m, and for all emergency and development funds to be given not loaned.
Christian Aid are organising an urgent emergency appeal to help those effected by the Haiti earthquake.
Please donate if you can by visiting the Haiti earthquake appeal page of their website.
Christian Aid have emailed me this morning to say that their income has been seriously affected by the recession and they do not have enough income to support all their planned projects for 2010. Therefore unless they receive additional funds by 19 February 2010 then they will have to make some tough decisions on who they will stop helping.
Most of us will never visit the places in which Christian Aid work. However we can assist them in their work with the world’s poor and those stuck in poverty by praying for them and also making a donation towards their work.
