Together let's do this
I am fundraising for The Hunger Project Australia, as part of the 2030 Leaders program.
The Hunger Project’s goal is to end world hunger by 2030. 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 $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.
$1,000 enables a community to drill a borehole and have safe drinking water.
Every dollar counts! Anything you can contribute is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Thank you to my Sponsors
