A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices.
These lines from the carol O Holy Night capture the very heart of Christmas. Jesus, the King of Kings, came down from heaven to bring salvation to a weary world groaning under the curse of sin.
Anglican Aid’s partners are holding on to this hope – this good news of great joy (Luke 2:10) – as they serve in places of poverty, persecution, and pain. And they are holding out this hope to their communities. They are doing this both by sharing the message of Jesus, and by caring for people’s practical needs.
In South Africa, Malawi, India, and beyond, our partners are providing clean water, disability care, and education to families in need. By prayerfully giving to our $143,000 funding goal this Christmas, you can join with them to bring hope and joy to a weary world.

India
In India, people with disabilities are often amongst the poorest of the poor, and experience significant discrimination. The Anugrah Disabilities project, run by Herbertpur Christian Hospital, is enabling access to essential health and rehab services for children living with disabilities and their families.
Malawi
One third of people in Malawi don’t have access to clean drinking water, and thousands of children die each year from waterborne diseases. The Anglican Diocese of Southern Malawi is providing water filters to 40 households in Douglas village. It is also training recipients in safe water storage and hygiene practices.
Mozambique
Attacks by Islamic extremists in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, have led to the internal displacement of around one million people. The Diocese of Zambezia is supporting displaced families in Namitenguline Refugee Camp by providing them with drought-resistant seeds and agricultural training.
South Africa
In the Kuyga community on the outskirts of Gqeberha, poverty, unemployment, alcohol abuse, and family breakdown are common. The Intsika project is addressing this by educating and mentoring children through a homework club, school readiness program, and outreach club. It also gives families food and clothing parcels.
