Christian Aid has a vision - an end to poverty - and we believe that vision can become a reality. Our purpose is to expose the scandal of poverty, to help in practical ways to root it out from the world and to challenge and change structures and systems that favour the rich and powerful over the poor and marginalized. We work with over 600 partner organisations in 50 developing countries to support their work related to issues like HIV/AIDS, economic development, climate change, conflict and disaster relief. We work with partner organisations and employ people of all faiths and none.
