Christian Aid marked their 70th anniversary and expressed their gratitude to their dedicated supporters with a special Thank You event in Dublin on Saturday (June 6). The gathering at St Finian’s Church on Adelaide Road welcomed supporters from around the country as well as Margaret Kisilu, director of Christian Aid’s Kenyan partner BIDII and Chris Waithanji from Chritian Aid in Nairobi Margaret shared great stories of Christian Aid’s work in Kenya.
The event featured lunch and refreshments as well as fun activities for kids. Entertainment was provided by the excellent A Glor Gospel Choir. The event concluded with an epilogue in the church.
Christian Aid is an organisation that insists the world can and must be swiftly changed to one where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. They work globally for change that eradicates poverty, striving for equality, dignity and freedom for all, regardless of faith or race. They work with local partner organisations, at home and overseas, to tackle the effects and the root causes of poverty.
