About us

More than half the world lives in poverty. Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of dignity, freedom and hope, of power over their own lives. Christian Aid has a vision – an end to poverty – and we believe that vision can become a reality. We are striving to bring lasting change to the lives of the poorest communities. We work wherever there is great need, helping people to find their own solutions to the problems they face, irrespective of their religion, caste or creed. If you’re passionate about positive change across the world, then this job might be for you.

Since violence broke out in Myanmar’s northern Rakhine state last month, an estimated of 507,000 people have crossed the border into Bangladesh as of October 2, 2017 resulting in an increasingly chaotic, unpredictable condition and humanitarian emergency. The new arrivals brought little with them and are dependent on humanitarian assistance for food and other lifesaving basic needs.
