This time last year we launched our Food in a Fragile World appeal; a fundraising initiative focusing on helping families in climate and conflict-affected countries get the food, water and healthcare that they need to survive. One year on, we take a look at the difference your donations – which were doubled by the Department for International Development thanks to the UK aid match scheme – have made to the lives of some of the world’s poorest people living in Burundi.  

We’ve all seen the ‘Please wash your hands’ signs in public bathrooms, sometimes they even have fancy soaps and hand creams to indulge in. It’s increasingly rare that’ll you’ll be in a situation where there are no facilities to clean your hands after going to the toilet, even port-a-loos at the muddiest of festivals will usually be fitted with anti-bacterial gel.
