This year, Trocaire's Lenten campaign focuses our attention on helping people whose lives are being effected negatively by climate change. Children all over the world are being denied an education because of the effects of the climate crisis says Trócaire ,as it launched its annual Trócaire Box appeal for Lent today Ash Wednesday (5th March).
More than 242 million students in 85 countries had their schooling disrupted by extreme climate events in 2024. These events included heatwaves, tropical cyclones, storms, floods and droughts, exacerbating an existing learning challenge in developing countries where children already face barriers to education.
This year, the family featured on the Trocaire box is one from the La Paz community in Guatemala in South America. Guatemala is one of many examples of countries who have contributed least to the climate change crisis and yet who have suffered most. This is a profound injustice that Trocaire seeks our help to address this Lent.
