How to speak about poverty, reconciliation and aid accurately and without demeaning anyone.

About this resource

What it contains

A guide for supporters who want to speak publicly about this work — in a church, a school, a workplace or online.

Much of it is about language. Describing a community as having nothing is almost always factually wrong; it has land, labour, skills, relationships and organisation. Getting this right matters more than enthusiasm.

Inside

  • How to frame the issues accurately
  • Language to use and language to retire
  • Guidance on using images responsibly
  • A short talk outline and slide suggestions
  • Answers to common challenging questions
