CARE International is a humanitarian organisation leading the fight to end poverty in the world’s most challenging situations. Women and girls are at the centre of our work, because we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities.

Story

<p>Outside of my domestic bills, essential food&nbsp;&amp; travel and&nbsp;a holiday allowance of&nbsp;&pound;2,000 I pledge to match all of my expenditure&nbsp;this year&nbsp;pound for pound&nbsp;with a&nbsp;donation to&nbsp;Care International.&nbsp;&nbsp;None of my current monthly/annual charity&nbsp;donations will be offset by this page.&nbsp; This page is intended&nbsp;not only to be a good cause but also to act as an&nbsp;open-ended cataloguing of how much of a consumer I have become and hopefully engender more conscientious lifestyle choices as I progress with this project.</p> <p>Obviously the amount I will raise is a bit of a moving target so please treat the number at the top of this page with light regard, it currently stands as a first estimate&nbsp;though I will attempt to update it periodically.</p>
