Live Below the Line for Christian Aid 2-6 May 2011

Christian Aid is challenging the public to live on just £1 a day for 5 days to raise £500,000 to help some of the world’s poorest people.

Live Below the Line is a new campaign run by the Global Poverty Project and fronted by actor Hugh Jackman, which aims to recruit 5,000 people across the UK to take up the challenge of spending just £5 in 5 days on all their food and drink.

1.4 billion people live below the poverty line, surviving on just £1 a day to cover all their living expenses. That’s why Christian Aid is supporting Live Below the Line, to raise awareness, and to raise money to help people in poverty out of poverty.
