Terrorism

War and anti-Christian violence are on the rise in many African countries. In parts of Nigeria, Christian lives and livelihoods are being destroyed by terrorists on a vast scale.

Natural disasters

Natural disasters and weather extremes cause drought and floods... failed crops... hunger. So do diseases and pests, like the recent plague of locusts in East Africa.

Displacement

In sub-Saharan Africa, the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Christians has reached alarming levels. Within refugee camps, the rise of disease, hunger, and the disturbing prevalence of sexual exploitation among women and girls is becoming prevalent.

Sadly these situations leave Christian communities in a state of perpetual vulnerability and susceptible to manipulation.

No more short
term fixes

The aim of Opportunity Africa is to transform suffering Christian communities in Africa through sustainability and human capacity building.

Opportunity Africa - your opportunity to create lasting change for Christians in Africa

“As we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially the family of believers” (Galatians 6:10).

This verse is core to Barnabas Aid’s calling, and we are inviting you to join us in Opportunity Africa. You can transform Christian communities facing poverty persecution in Africa, strengthening and sustaining them to face whatever the future may bring.
