Today 1.3 billion people live in extreme poverty. Tonight 800 million will go to bed hungry. This year 12 million children will die before their fifth birthday. Yet our world has never been richer. This is a podcast of internal lunchtime talks, key presentations and partner interviews from one of the largest INGOs in the UK, Christian Aid. Christian Aid was born in 1945 to bring hope, reconciliation and care to those who survived the devastation of the second world war in Europe. For more than 60 years, we have made a practical difference to millions of lives around the world, and have spoken out powerfully for freedom and justice. Despair is not an option - find out more about Christian Aid by visiting http://www.christianaid.org.uk, or our Pressureworks campaigners site at http://www.pressureworks.org.uk
