That Ideas Girl

Anna, AKA ‘That Ideas Girl’ is a blogger from West Yorkshire. A self-confessed lover of food, Anna knows the challenge will be hard but is looking forward to making a difference to the lives of farmers like Genet.

“For 5 days I am going to struggle with hunger and crave chocolate like mad! I will be seriously tempted by workmates tucking into delicious paninis and mouthwatering muffins. But by taking part in this £1 a day challenge, I may just be able to make a small difference to a great cause.”

Rosie Rendall

Rosie is a volunteer at Farm Africa and regularly fundraises for Farm Africa. “I’ve walked, run and cycled before but never tried to live on £1 a day.” She’s a little nervous about the challenge but has already been planning her meals, especially as the thing she will miss most is “meat”.

However she has been thinking about what goodies she can forage to help boost her £5 budget. Elderflower cordial sounds like a particularly good idea to us!

Edwina Mullins

Edwina has already completed her challenge and her top tip is to “keep a large bottle of water with you and drink it whenever you need to combat a growling tummy”.  

Edwina is also a volunteer speaker and shared on her blog about our work and why she chose to fundraise for us. 

“I passionately believe in teaching people how to live sustainably rather than giving handouts and this is exactly what Farm Africa does. Because of extreme poverty, so many people don't have enough to eat every day, and this situation can be avoided. Live Below the Line demonstrates the problem in a concrete way, while raising money to address the problem.”
