Personal Mission 2018
Hi All!!
Inspired by those who are going above and beyond their own interests to improve the lives of underprivileged people in communities here and abroad, from this year on, I am setting a personal mission to step outside of my routine (eat, sleep, work, brunch, instagram, repeat ) and consider the greater picture in which we all operate.
This year, I am fundraising for The Hunger Project Australia. The Hunger Project is a non for profit organisation that aims to end world hunger by 2030 through sustainable practices.
Their approach is different – they see people living in hunger as the solution, not the problem. They shift the mindsets of women and men so they transform into leaders for more sustainable futures. Through programs such as education, microfinance, agriculture and health, they empower people with the skills, knowledge and resources they need to break the poverty cycle themselves.
I have committed to raise over AUD 10,000 to empower people from some of the world’s poorest communities to transform their lives and be the solution to the poverty and hunger that they face daily. I hope that you are able to support me in this challenge.
What impact will your donation have?
$50 could fund functional adult literacy training for two women so that they can learn to read and write.
$60 could provide one woman with a microfinance loan and financial literacy training so she can start a small business, earn an income and support her family.
$120 could train a local volunteer leader who will educate mothers about the importance of pre-natal care to ensure their babies are delivered safely.
$230 could train one Elected Woman in India to be an effective local council member and ban child marriage in her community.
If you wish to learn more about the work they do, please reach out to me or check their website on https://thp.org.au/
Every dollar counts! Anything you can contribute is greatly appreciated. :)
Thank you!
Valerie

I chose $60 cos I believe in the old saying if you give a man (or woman) a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach him how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. Hope it helps the beneficiary obtain her own “fishing rod”

Continue to be inspired to help those who are less fortunate than yourself. Even the smallest amount would change their life.
