World Development Appeal

Envelopes are on porch table.

The theme of this year’s World Development Appeal is ‘Reclaiming HOPE.’

Climate change challenges sustainable development in the world’s poorest communities. By supporting the World Development Appeal we can give resilient people in places like El Salvador a just and sustainable future. The projects being highlighted this year are in El Salvador and Brazil. El Salvador, almost 25 years after the UN brokered peace agreement, and still bearing the scars of war, is facing almost every sustainable development challenge there is: climate change, insecure livelihoods, the legacy of sustained conflict, severe gender inequality, threatened gang violence, and youth unemployment, to name just a few. PROCARES (Programme for Capacity-Building and Reconstruction in El Salvador), partnering with Christian Aid since 1998, has made a commitment to sustainable economic development. The El Zompopero Cooperative Society is one of the fruits of that commitment. Giving to the 2016 World Development Appeal will enable organisations like PROCARES to continue this support
