Halima in Somalia, forced from her home by drought, rebuilt her life through a Trócaire-supported skills programme and now runs her own tailoring shop.
This week, as Trócaire launches its 2024 annual report, I reflect on the title chosen for this year's report: Climate, Conflict and Cuts. These three words have defined the past year for millions of people worldwide, and they define the challenges we must confront together.
