Fundraising for World Food Programme - Prism the Gift Fund
Story
We will be raising money for two charities during this expedition, both of them doing vital work in one of the poorest countries in the world.
First off, we are raising money for the World Food Programme Southern Madagascar Emergency. One of the ten countries most vulnerable to disasters worldwide and the most cyclone-exposed country in Africa, Madagascar is facing an emergency level crisis. Four years of consecutive droughts have left families in the south of the country helpless and unable to feed themselves.
The World Food Programme (WFP) is working closely with the Government to ensure food security for the Malagasy people. WFP aims to scale up its response to reach 1 million people with life-saving food in Southern Madagascar and urgently needs US$ 56.3 million to do so.
We have selected a fundraising target of GBP 1,850 which is the equivalent of USD 2,500.
