**With Easter approaching, many people have once again pledged to give something
up for the duration of Lent. Here is a round up of some of this year’s Lent charity

#### WaterAid

This Lent, WaterAid is inviting church congregations to give up their favourite 
treats and donate the money they save to its Jars of Change Lent appeal, which will
help bring clean water and decent toilets to communities such as Chiswe village 
in Malawi. WaterAid has developed a range of resources to support churches in their
fundraising efforts, and is also encouraging churches to hold a Lenten concert.

This year, Christian Aid is focusing on climate change for its Lent Appeal, asking
