Christian Aid Christmas Appeal 2026
Make room at the table
This Christmas, Christian Aid is standing with families in Ethiopia, where repeated flooding and conflict have left millions of people without enough to eat. Gifts to the appeal fund emergency help now, and longer-term work alongside communities as they rebuild what they’ve lost.
Donations go straight to Christian Aid through its own website.
- 10 million people in Ethiopia facing hunger this Christmas
- 4.7 million people forced from their homes by conflict
