In 2015, schools across the country will take part in
Live Below the Line by eating and drinking on £1 for

Can you help Send a Cow to change lives?
Take up the Live Below the Line challenge and
raise money for our Burundi campaign.
Burundi is the hungriest country in the world.
Families here have been living on much less for a
lifetime.
Hunger ultimately means loss of life - and of all
hope for any kind of meaningful future.
Send a Cow: Burundi
With the money you raise we can start to end hunger
in the country one family, one community at a time.
It raise means we can get into the heart of these
communities and, within months, see them growing
enough food to feed their families.
For every £100 you raise we will support a group to
set up an allotment to grow fruit and veg to feed
their families and sell.
And for every person helped, a further 9 benefit,
spreading the impact of the money you raise still
further.
Crucially, your support will mean people feel
valued, not forgotten. This is the spark. When a
person feels valued they believe they can take
the livestock and the knowledge we provide and
shape their own future. It starts with an appetite
for change. We simply provide the means to
make that happen.
Will you help us?
