Live below the Line Challenge
The World Bank defines extreme poverty as having to live on the equivalent of £1 a day. As part of the ‘Live Below the Line’ challenge to raise money for Christian Aid, Nicol, our reader, spent 5 days living on just £1 per day for all her food. At the end of the 5 days Nicol raised £1200 for Christian Aid. Well done to Nicol and a big thank you to everyone who supported her.
