Run To Beat Poverty and help raise essential funds for Tearfund during 2022

Story

I am running to raise funds to provide people like Tamam, from Syria, with life-saving support to rebuild their lives. When armed groups entered Tamam's village they cut off the electricity and running water. 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. Tearfund is a Christian charity which partners with churches in more than 50 of the worlds poorest countries tackling poverty and injustice through sustainable development, by responding to disasters & challenging injustice. Thank you for your generosity in giving people like Taman hope for the future.
