Join with us during 2022 as we Run to Beat Poverty for Tearfund. We run because we refuse to leave people living in poverty behind. We run because poverty isn't going to end itself - each one of us has a part to play.

Take part in an organised event, or run at your own pace, in your own time, choosing a distance that is a challenge for you. Whether it is a run around the local park one Saturday, a 5km run each week or even a half marathon over the month, every £336 we raise could help four families like Tamam's with life saving support to rebuild their lives.

In Syria, conflict came without warning. Armed groups entered Tamam's village and cut off the electricity and running water. Crops and animals were lost, and food became scarce. Then, one day, Tamam's husband died too. With no other option, she took her children and they ran for their lives.

Tamam's home is now two rooms in a settlement in Lebanon. It is cramped and dangerous. Life is hard, but there are fragments of hope.

Tearfund's local partner is in the heart of the settlement. They provide schooling, trauma counselling and healthcare, as well as business training. Tamam was invited to join their sewing programme. Her new skills now provide her with an income, and she can feed her family.

Tamam plans to open a workshop to teach others, and she dreams of the better life she is building for her children.

Thank you for giving people like Tamam the hope of a better future.
