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.
To read Matunda’s story and find out more about Tearfund’s amazing work, please visit their website: www.tearfund.org/wewontstop.
I believe that if everyone put a small contribution towards helping those in severe poverty a huge difference could be made.
For the next five days I will be eating nothing but plain rice and plain beans, and only drinking water.
It will be a challenge to say the least, however it will remind me of how privileged we are to have everything we do.
Any contribution will be greatly appreciated.
Please share this and let's make a difference.
