SCIAF

Teachers hold a SCIAF poster and a sign that reads: "One of SCIAF's most famous campaigns is the WEE BOX Lenten Appeal!"

We are so proud of our pupils for putting their faith into action! Thank you to everyone who has supported our fundraising so far.

Action: That the small change in our WEE BOXES adds up to big changes—providing tools, training, and water sources that help communities build a better future.

Stewardship: How clean, safe water is a life-essential that we must never take for granted.

Solidarity: The reality for children who walk for hours every day under the sun just to find water.

Our pupils have been busy this Lent, not just walking miles, but growing in empathy. By taking part in the SCIAF Big Lent Walk and WEE BOX Appeal, our young people have been learning about the daily challenges faced by families in Ethiopia.

Through "Walk for Water," pupils now better understand ⬇️

One moment to get debt cancellation on the world’s political agenda in 2026 is at ‘Davos’. This is a meeting of the World Economic Forum that takes place in an alpine town in Switzerland called Davos where the world’s political and economic elite gather once a year, in January. It is invite only!

For the past year, SCIAF has been working with other organisations like Debt Justice and many others around the world to call for debt cancellations for developing countries.
