    • The aim of the Canterbury Poverty and Hope appeal is the eradication of poverty, and all that follows from it. Funds are used to support long-term development projects (not emergency relief or aid), and are channelled through trusted partners who are in close contact with the target projects.

    PROJECTS IN BRIEF

    “I was hungry... thirsty
    and you gave me something
    to eat and drink”

    The Amazon region makes many people rich, yet the people whose land it is are struggling to survive. The Anglican Church, supported by USPG: Anglicans in World Mission, is working in neighbourhoods where people are imprisoned by poverty, to to build communities of hope where everyone has enough to meet their needs.

    “I was naked
    and you clothed me”

    In February 2008 a powerful tropical cyclone struck Madagascar. Over 330,000 people were left homeless, the storm caused 93 deaths. Many people were left with literally nothing but what they were wearing. Many of the church schools and church buildings were destroyed or damaged. We are helping to rebuild and re-cloth communities.

    and you looked after me”

    Youth Life has created the perfect dance mix for turning despair on its head and giving hope to youth in Central Asia. Former addicts are building relationships through breakdance clubs. Healing the wounds of brokenness and addiction means addressing the root causes: breakdown of family relationships, rejection, low self-esteem and alienation from society.

    GUEST PROJECT FOR 2008

    People from across the globe are coming to Kent, bringing with them their culture, talents and ambitions and in the process making this place more diverse, more colourful and more interesting. WEDG (our guest project for 2008/9) takes people from diasporas into schools to talk to children, answer questions and give another point of view of life in Kent.
