I am fundraising for The Hunger Project.

We are living in a very crazy time at the moment and as a result  many people  are suddenly finding themselves struggling financially. Round the world finding enough money to  feed yourself and your family is an everyday challenge. Even here in the UK people are finding that they are now living below the poverty line because of Covid-19. I want to raise awareness of the struggle to eat comfortably on £1 a day by taking part in the Live below the line challenge. I will spent less than £1 a day on food and drink for as long as the UK is in full lockdown, whether that be three weeks, three months or longer

What impact will your donation have?

£25 could fund functional adult literacy training for two women so that they can learn to read and write.

£30 could provide one woman with a microfinance loan and financial literacy training so she can start a small business, earn an income and support her family.

£65 could train a local volunteer leader who will educate mothers about the importance of pre-natal care to ensure their babies are delivered safely.

£125 could train one Elected Woman in India to be an effective local council member and ban child marriage in her community.

Every pound counts! I know that the current financial situation is difficult but Anything you can contribute is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
