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. It also supports Tearfund’s climate justice advocacy work in Australia.

Ruby is part of the student-led Green Club at her school in Zambia, which is facilitated by Tearfund’s partner Reformed Open Community Schools (ROCS).

The club's members are leading cross-generational approaches to build resilience to the impacts of a changing climate. They’ve planted trees all around the school grounds. They water and care for them, and share with fellow students about the importance of caring for the land, and growing and eating a diverse range of plants. Ruby knows that it will take time for the trees to grow and bring benefits to the school community, but it’s an investment she’s making for the sake of future students.
