Let Hope Flow this Christmas

In the Christmas Appeal 2022 we share stories from communities living with the climate disaster.  They are building rainwater tanks, learning new growing techniques and preparing for disaster.  People living on the frontline of climate change need new skills and resources to adapt to rising temperatures and more intense disasters.  For those unable to adapt, they will need help to find new homes and support to carve out new ways of living.  Together we can share in this life-giving task, giving hope in practical ways to people who face a dangerous and uncertain future.  Please support this year’s Christmas Appeal with generosity and love.

You can order posters and Christmas Appeal envelopes now.

Who we are

At Christmas we invite you to share your love and concern for people who cannot afford to give up hope – they live with poverty and climate disaster.

The CWS Christmas Appeal has been a tradition in New Zealand churches since 1945 when the first Christmas Bowl appeal was launched to raise funds for post-war reconstruction in Greece.  Together we have supported millions of people through conflict and disaster.  We have helped them improve their lives and livelihoods.  Your donations have funded our local partners to strengthen communities in their efforts to end violence and promote human rights and peace.  Thank you.
