Live Below The Line- £1 a day for 5 days!
The Hunger Project is a women-centred global non-profit that uses sustainable solutions to tackle poverty worldwide. To raise money for this charity, starting on June 14th, I will be living 'below the poverty line' on £1 a day for 5 days (food and drink!).
This challenge isn’t about ‘playing at being poor’. More than imitation, the challenge serves as an opportunity for contemplation and self-challenge. It holds up a mirror to your own privilege, forcing you to ask yourself- ‘if I found the challenge difficult, how would I be able to cope with the reality of extreme poverty?’. I am beyond fortunate that I will only do this for 5 days when this is the reality that billions of people face, and will likely face, for the rest of their lives.
