2. Send a charity Christmas card
Make your Christmas cards even more special this year by choosing cards that support a great cause. Christian Aid, in collaboration with Embrace the Middle East, offers a beautiful card featuring artwork by renowned Palestinian artist Sliman Mansour.
This stunning design makes it more than just a card and connects you to communities in crisis across the Middle East.
Money raised from the sale of this card goes towards helping those facing hardship in countries like Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, Israel and Palestine. By purchasing this charity card, you’re directly supporting vital projects that bring hope to people in some of the world’s most challenging environments.
What’s more, these cards are fully recyclable and printed on sustainable materials, making them an eco-friendly choice for the festive season. Not only will your Christmas greetings carry a message of peace and goodwill, but your purchase will also contribute to positive change for communities facing crisis.
3. Make a charity donation
A contribution to our Christmas Appeal helps mothers fleeing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo to buy food and life-saving supplies for their children.
At Christian Aid, we work tirelessly to bring about long-term, sustainable change, from fighting climate injustice and world hunger to supporting women’s rights around the globe. Even a single donation could help people in the world’s poorest communities.
A charity donation is also a great way to honour someone you care about, knowing that your contribution will have a lasting, positive impact. You can even make your donation in the name of a loved one, making it a meaningful Christmas present that lives on.
