Climate Resilience

Climate Resilience

$250


Description

Tackling climate change offers a profound opportunity to create better lives for people. This gift helps people living in poverty to meet the challenges of a changing climate, and empowers Australian Christians to speak up and act for a more sustainable future.

How your gift helps

The poorest people on Earth contribute the least to climate change – and yet they are often hardest hit by its consequences. This gift supports Tearfund’s partners who work with vulnerable communities as they build resilience to a changing climate.

Aulla had no irrigation on his land and was able to grow only one crop each year. With support from Tearfund’s partner EFICOR, he successfully applied for a bore hole with a solar powered pump through a government scheme. Now, he can grow two crops each year – one with the monsoon rains, another in the dry season – and he has been farming profitably. This gift also contributes to Tearfund’s advocacy to help build a more sustainable world.
