Christian Aid week takes place from May 15 to 21.
It’s the week when the Christians of the island are said to come together to live out their faith and love every neighbour.
This year there will be house to house collections, special services, quiz nights, concerts coffee mornings and more events.
All of the money raised during this week will go towards the Honey Hubs for Kenya project.
It will help people there to work their own way out of poverty by providing equipment, training and assistance with bee keeping in Kenya, specifically Taita Taveta County.
Funds will also go towards setting up a commercially viable Honey Hub (or co-operative) to enable the bee keepers to sell a quality marketable product, making the most of the honey and the wax produced.
This year’s project is supported by the Isle of Man Bee Keepers Federation.
The project for Isle of Man Christian Aid Week last year was Mali Cookstoves.
The Island managed to raise £34,000, which was subsequently matched by the International Development Committee.
Christian Aid says this money is making a real difference to people’s lives now in Mali.
A Christian Aid spokesman said: ‘Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of dignity, freedom and hope.’
