To celebrate International Day of the Girl Child, Kiwi aid and development organisation Tearfund asked female humanitarian photographers from New Zealand and around the world to share empowering photos and stories that illustrate the strength and resilience of girls in the face of adversity. 

This World Humanitarian Day, we asked seven humanitarians from New Zealand aid and development agencies to share a story that left a lasting impression and why they choose to do this work.

Hope is in high demand as we navigate challenging times around the world. But what is our hope as Christians and how can we hold onto it? 

This year, I have decided to take up this challenge. I choose to only buy Christmas gifts that are meaningful and make a difference.
