Stories for Change

The quarterly Christian World Service letter reports on the work of our partners, campaign news, what New Zealand support is helping to achieve in emergency situations and how our supporters are joining in the global struggle against poverty and injustice.

Latest issue:  Time for the Tea Pickers examines life on Sri Lanka’s tea estates where workers live and work in conditions close to slavery.  Their children are often malnourished and have few opportunities.  Our partner Monlar is playing a leading role in the One Thousand Movement which has already achieved a higher award rate for all tea pickers this year.  Their demands for better wages, the opportunity to grow their own food, and agricultural policy to meet the needs of small farmers, will help more people out of grinding poverty.
