Live Below the Line

 

Surviving on £1 each day is the reality facing 1.4 billion people living below the extreme poverty line. Live Below the Line challenges people in developed countries to eat spending the same amount as people living in extreme poverty.

Last year, Live Below the Line helped to raise over £9,000 for MRDF's long-term development projects, as people who took part were sponsored by their friends and families. This year you can get involved by:

  • Living below the line for MRDF and being sponsored to live on £5 for five days worth of food
  • Taking part in a Live Below the Line activity, like holding a cooking competition, or cake sale.
