Story

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. I’m 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 me as I take a stand against poverty.
