Story
I am taking 431,859 steps in the month of May to turn hunger into hope. The specific number is the pre-invasion population of Mariupol, so every step represents one victim from that devastated city. But it is wider than just Ukraine, because the war there pushes up prices all over the world, and the impact is worse for people already in poverty. For the first time in a generation, global poverty is rising. Covid-19, conflict, and the climate crisis are pushing more of our global neighbours into a struggle for survival. For Jessica, a loving mum in Zimbabwe drought means every day is a struggle for survival. Like many women, she toils on her farm, but no food can grow on her ashen dry land. Every step we take this May could help people like Jessica fight hunger: from sowing drought-resistant seeds, to building a storeroom to help her family bounce back from future droughts.Please give today, and help us turn hunger into hope. Thank you.
