Would you consider helping local churches in places like Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan and elsewhere help their own communities by making a gift to Tearfund today?   

You see, we believe the solution to poverty is spiritual, as much as it is physical. 

The local church was formed by Christ to continue His mission of restoration and fix the broken relationships that are at the heart of poverty. Although not perfect, the local church is the most effective vehicle for bringing opportunity and hope into a community. 

But to do this critical work, the local church across the world needs your help!

Your generous gift today can help train and equip a local church to: 

• Train farmers in simple and cost-effective farming so families can grow their own food, using their own skills and talents, and feed their own children
• Create savings groups so families can build up some equity, access loans to start small businesses, and climb out of poverty
• Be ready when disaster strikes in their own community and country, so they can be the hands and feet of Jesus by providing emergency food, water, shelter and other life-saving necessities 

Instead of offering handouts, you will be partnering with local churches to permanently lift families out of poverty.
