The Shack Challenge
Campaign by Global Care (RCN 1142624)
This challenge is raising funds for families derailed and devastated by Covid. We are raising money for a feeding programme in Patripul, India to encourage children to return to school and not give up on education as a route out of poverty.

Story

Since Covid triggered lockdowns across the world, Global Care has supported over 13,000 children and their families in 12 nations, determined that the poorest, most vulnerable families won't get left behind. A Dalit community in Patripul, near Mumbai, India, has been particularly hard-hit. Yet when schools and our education centres here finally re-open, there is a risk children won't return. They are working to support their families or are demotivated by the long break from learning. The Shack Challenge will fund a short-term feeding programme, initially providing emergency feeding, and then, once schools re-open, providing a food parcel to students who attend, at the end of each week. We hope this incentive will re-engage families who have given up on education as a route out of poverty, and give them a good reason to stop sending their children out to work or beg. Please help me to raise as much as possible to help these extremely vulnerable children get their lives back on track.
