Story

'For a woman such as Ruth from Nigeria, who is trying to feed her family by collecting and selling firewood, life is a constant struggle. Teaching improved farming techniques can help in a situation like hers, and that’s where Tearfund  and their local partners can help.

For every £72  raised, a family like Ruth’s can learn new ways of growing food for today, and finding security for tomorrow.  Her life is beginning to change.

 But there are many more still needing support.   Eve and I are taking on the challenge of eating only rice and beans, and drinking only water, for 5 days.  Please sponsor our 5 day challenge  and help to bring an end to poverty.

We are doing it so you don’t need to!!
