Christian Aid UK are promoting a new campaign – ‘Poverty Over’, to make people aware that if we all pull together we can help end poverty in our lifetime. Throughout the annals of history, social changes can be galvanised during times of crises, as has been proven by how quickly governments shored up their economies in the financial crisis.

This video shows how Christian Aid are spreading the word and their work to the commuters of London that now is the time for ‘Poverty Over’.

Man has constantly overcome challenges and changed the way the world is today. A global movement for change must challenge the undemocratic structures alongside greater transparency in business and banking. If we can work together to abolish slavery and apartheid whilst putting a man on the moon, surely we can make ‘Poverty Over’?

Christian Aid Week is a fantastic way of bringing global issues to life with your work collegues, family, friends and classmates. There are many ways to raise money, and it’s amazing what people will do, especially when it’s for a good cause.

You could hold a casual clothes day at your work, or invite work colleagues to pay to gunge the boss (something I’m definately considering!) Or why not hold a sponsored football or netball tournament at your school? You could even get the whole community involved and organise a music festival and ask local bands to play.

Or why not host a quiz? Last year was a first for ‘Quizaid’, and a remarkable £185,000 was raised for Christian Aid, with this year target set at £225,000. You could put on the quiz at home or in your local pub, plus there’s even a Quizaid question pack bursting with hints and tips on how to make sure you get the most fun out of your event.

• can of worms
  If you’re a Bolivian farmer and you want to fertilise your fields, you can’t do much better than worms. Organic, cheaper and better for the environment than chemicals, they enrich the soil and help produce more and better crops. They can make such a difference that farmers may even have a surplus to sell, giving them extra cash to pay for education, shelter and medicines. A gift like this really can do an awful lot.
• Disaster Kit
  Imagine losing your home and everything you worked so hard for in a devastating flood like the one that hit Bangladesh in 2004. A disaster survival kit such as the one Christian Aid partner Friends in Village Development Bangladesh gave to local villagers contains essential items like food, matches, oil, blankets and cooking utensils. A gift like this can make a huge difference to a family living through an emergency.
• School Shoes 
  Abeda Banda wants to be a lawyer. But first she needs to complete her education and sit her final year exams. And to do that she needs a school uniform – right down to the shoes. Christian Aid’s partner ADL provides people like Abeda and other children affected by HIV with everything they need to continue their education – from school shoes to school fees. A gift like this could help ensure that young people have the chance of a better future.
• Mosquito nets
  After storms and floods, stagnant water provides the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. Luckily, mosquito nets like these provide the perfect protection against the deadly malaria that mosquitoes carry.

No other gift can be beaten on value this Christmas.
