All money raised by fundraisers for this appeal before 17 May, will be doubled by the UK government, up to £3 million.

All donations will be used by Tearfund to transform lives around the world where the need is greatest.

Match funding from the UK government will be used by our partners in Pakistan to set up innovative waste recycling hubs. Not only will these hubs help tackle waste and plastic pollution, they will provide sustainable livelihoods and improve the living conditions in some of Pakistan's poorest slum communities.

Every £42 doubled could provide waste collection for two families like Rubinas, making their local environment cleaner and safer.
