Give online to Fast Day

Margaret, 37, a hard-working mother-of-six buying vegetables. "I go far to Kariobangi market for greens, 25 minutes walk away, for cheaper vegetables. The vegetables here are too expensive"

When you give this Fast Day, you help people such as Margaret, who spent years working her way out of poverty, only to be knocked down again by the financial crisis

Millions just like Margaret are struggling because of events beyond their control. The financial crisis is a final nail in the coffin.

We are all feeling the effects of recession. High exchange rates means the financial support we offer is worth around one-third less than last year - it is a challenging time but we will not give up on the world’s poorest when they need us the most.

CAFOD needs your help - please give as generously as you can this Fast Day

Thank you for sharing what you have with the world's poor.
