CWS Christmas Appeal

By cws | Dec 22, 2008

Keep Hope Alive this Christmas

CWS, the official development, justice and aid agency of New Zealand churches is holding its annual appeal. This year it focuses on CWS partners overseas that help there communities survive through conflict. Poverty causes conflicts and conflict worsens poverty. Most of the victims of conflict are civilians, many of them women and children.  They face a daily struggle to stay alive, protect their families and earn a living. The support that CWS partners provide brings them hope and enables them to work together for a better future

The CWS Christmas Appeal has been a tradition in New Zealand churches since 1945. Please donate now. See www.cws.org.nz for details or phone 0800 74 73 72
