I am Keira and I am 12 and I am giving up the use of my mobile phone for 750 hours from 6pm April 27th to 12am Saturday May 29th. I am doing this to raise money for Feeding Hope as I read about the challenge and the work they do and wanted to help too.

For farmers in Zimbabwe, a good crop means they can feed their families, have surplus to sell for income and therefore pay for education, healthcare and other costs. Yet as the changing climate makes weather unpredictable, some tried and trusted methods of growing crops have begun failing small-scale farmers. The Salvation Army is providing training in simple and sustainable farming techniques. As crop yields increase and confidence grows, families from one generation to another can thrive and whole communities can know that the future they hope for is secure. Feeding Hope is the focus of The Salvation Army's 2021 Helping-Hand Appeal. Money raised through this Appeal will be used to support The Salvation Army's international Food Security projects.
