You can change the lives of brave women like Talaso
“When we were young, we didn’t have to stress, there were no droughts like this. We’d just take care of our livestock. Our lives were comfortable then,” Talaso said.
Talaso, a 20-year-old mother living in northern Kenya faces life-threatening circumstances every day. The current drought has killed almost all the livestock she and her family rely on for meat and milk to eat and to earn a living.
“The life now is so difficult. There is no food, there is no water, the livestock are no longer here. We used to have livestock and we used to sell the livestock and get food. Now everything is gone, and we have a very difficult life now.”
Your regular gift can mean the difference for women like Talaso, supporting with food security, education and income generation. You can support brave women and help them change their lives. You can be Champion for Change.

How Champions for Change are transforming lives
When Rosalie from the Democratic Republic of the Congo was only 15 years old, she navigated battlefields and did all she could to stay alive.
When she left the army years later, Rosalie struggled to adjust to civilian life, with her childhood ripped from her and her education cut short by the war. She missed out on developing valuable skills and knowledge to help her secure employment and provide for her family.
Your regular gift can support people like Rosalie to change their lives. Through the support of our partners, Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD) and Caritas Bukavu, Rosalie was able to reintegrate into society and has now become an entrepreneur and a respected community leader.
Become a Champion for Change today and empower people like Rosalie to break the cycle of poverty.
