Story

For one week, the nine of us will be eating only plain rice, beans and oats in limited quantities in solidarity with those around the world who only have access to very restricted diets every day. Please sponsor us so we can help as many people as possible through Tearfund's campain:


Can you imagine getting paid in leaves?

It seems almost too absurd to be true, but that’s the awful reality for people like Matunda. She desperately wants to provide for her family, but all she gets for a hard day’s labour is a tiny handful of yams and cassava leaves. They only eat one small meal a day.

Something has to be done. We are fundraising to empower people like Matunda so that they can lift themselves out of poverty.

£240 will give four women like Matunda the skills they need to provide for their families.

Please join us as we take a stand against poverty.
