BBC Radio Wales - All Things Considered, Amanda Khozi Mukwashi

Roy meets Amanda Khozi Mukwashi, the new CEO of Christian Aid.

Christian Aid Week begins next weekend - a fixed point in many church calendars, when congregations take to the streets and urge their neighbours to give money to help some of the world's poorest people.

This year, the revelations of sex abuse in a number of charities have rocked confidence in the whole sector, especially those dealing with overseas relief and development. Everyone is having to work harder simply to rebuild trust.

It's a difficult time to take the reins of one of the best-known agencies in the field. Amanda Khozi Mukwashi is barely a month into her new job as chief executive officer of Christian Aid, with its work of advocacy and education, and its projects in nearly 40 countries - needing about a hundred million pounds a year to keep them going.

She comes to the job with experience in a range of countries, and with organisations from Voluntary Service Overseas to the United Nations, and she's passionate about fighting poverty, injustice and inequality. Roy talks to her about her life, and her vision for Christian aid this Christian Aid Week, and into the future.
