This is what it takes to support families in the aftermath of an earthquake.

Since the Venezuela earthquakes, Teresa and her team have been supporting communities hit hardest.

She works with our partner Lutheran World Federation to provide food, water, hygiene kits and medical checks.

Follow the team for the day as they head to the epicentre of the earthquake. by @christianaiduk

‘The system is unjust’

But how can we change it if we don’t understand it?

That’s why we asked our experts what you need to know about the global financial system.

We’re told that private finance and debt will tackle poverty. In fact, they’re often making it worse.

Until power shifts, we’ll only get more of the same ‘solutions’.

It’s time to build a global economy in which everyone can have life in all its fullness. by @christianaiduk

“We ask that you do not forget South Sudan.” - Revd Tut Kony Nyang Kon, General Secretary of the South Sudan Council of Churches.

Last week, our South Sudan partners met the Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth Palace to call for international support for peace.

With the country’s first ever elections in December, violence and insecurity continue.

Our partners are working to bring communities together and build a more peaceful future.

Supporters across the country also heard from our partners about their work in South Sudan as part of our Autumn Roadshow.

As they prepare for the months ahead, we’re holding them in prayer. by @christianaiduk

'No, we will not die. We will carry on. You will grow up and finish your education.'

That's what Laila told her son Ali, 12, as airstrikes hit Beirut.

Last September, conflict forced Laila and her two sons to flee their home in southern Lebanon.

They left behind their home and extended family. In Beirut, Laila and her family felt displaced and isolated.

Laila took Ali to Mouvement Social, one of our partners, supporting displaced families.

There she and Ali joined counselling sessions with a social worker. She also trained in cooking, a skill she can build an income around.

'It helps to know there is someone who cares about you. You are not facing this alone.'

Laila’s story is in the latest edition of Christian Aid magazine, alongside stories of people who refuse to give up in the face of conflict, poverty and injustice.

This Black History Month, please join us in prayer 🙏

For Black History Month 2026, themed 'Honouring Our Communities', we celebrate the Black leaders, churches and networks whose everyday work shapes communities across the UK and around the world.

Their leadership is often unseen. But it's the foundation of change: in faith, in racial justice and in the fight against the climate crisis.

This Black History Month, we honour them. We share their stories. And we stand alongside them.

Prayer written by Ven, Dr Rosemarie Mallett, published in Rage & Hope: 75 Prayers for a Better World. by @christianaiduk

Ever wondered who gets to shape the global economy?

Come with Bella, our Campaigns Officer, as they spend the day at the World Bank and IMF Annual Meetings, where governments, economists, businesses and civil society come together to discuss decisions that affect millions of people around the world.

From hearing directly from communities affected by these decisions to joining conversations on inequality, workers’ rights and gender, here’s what their day looked like. by @christianaiduk

Today we’re in London, joining the Global Day of Action against the policies of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank ✊

While these powerful lenders meet behind closed doors in Bangkok — making financial decisions that will affect millions of people around the world — people and movements across Asia and the Pacific, Africa, Latin America, Europe, and North America are rising up together.

In Bangkok, people are marching right outside the meetings, making sure the IMF and World Bank can’t ignore the people living with the consequences of their decisions. We’re standing with them in solidarity.

Our message is loud and clear: it’s time to cancel the debt.

Movements in the Global South are leading the fight for a fairer future, and we’re proud to stand alongside them. We’re with them today, and we’ll keep going long after the meetings end.

A year ago, a ceasefire came into effect in Gaza and Israel.

Ameera Khamees, our Head of Impact for the Middle East shares reflections on what’s happened since.

For many, very little has changed.

Families continue to live under threat of attack and repeated displacement.

They need the space and resources to rebuild their homes, livelihoods and essential services. by @christianaiduk

What has God taught you?

We asked people at @greenbeltfestival what lessons and perspectives they’ve gained through their faith.

Google Earth has updated its satellite images of Gaza.

The scale of destruction is impossible to ignore.

Entire neighbourhoods, schools, hospitals and businesses reduced to rubble.

Around 82% of structures in Gaza are damaged according to the UN.

What the map doesn’t show is the people, families and communities displaced. by @christianaiduk
