Organised by Change4Change

In Hyderabad, India many people are so poor and desperate that they consider (and some commit) suicide. Our intention is to establish sustainable businesses to set people free from this situation.

It raises funds in the UK to establish small sustainable businesses in many parts of the developing world to enable individuals and families to break free from desperate poverty.

Story

So, is it really possible to save a life for £2 and if so how does that work?

We will soon be launching a new project in Hyderabad, Southern India and to do so we need to raise £21,000.

This will establish 405 family businesses and by recycling funds this will rise to 1,100 family businesses within 13 months.

We are advised that the average family size in this area is 9, which means that after just 13 months the lives of around 9,900 people will have been fundamentally changed at a cost of just £2.12 each and some of these people may not still be alive in the New Year if we do not make a difference!

The system then keeps on recycling and so may more people will have their lives changed.

We plan to have the project started and to start making a difference before Christmas.

Finally to confirm, 100% of the funds raised will go to the project as all administrative fees for the charity are paid for by the trustees.

Please give generously and really make a difference by this Christmas.
