Take on the Shack Supper Challenge and tackle food insecurity for vulnerable children

Food insecurity is rife in many nations, with vulnerable families regularly facing starvation. Economic crises, climate change, political conflict and war all create instability for poor communities. That’s why a food parcel can become the lifeline a vulnerable family needs.

Our Emergency Relief Fund is a vital part of what we do around the world. The children our local partners care for are the most vulnerable in their communities. Whatever the crisis, they are the first to feel the impact of it.

When you take on the Shack Supper Challenge, living off the contents of a basic food parcel for 5 days, you change the story for a child in the midst of a crisis. You give them their future back!

Join the Shack Supper Challenge

All you have to do for the Challenge is live on the contents of a basic food parcel for 5 days. The contents of the food parcel are based on those we have distributed to families in Patripul slum, Mumbai (with some substitutions for ingredients not readily available in the UK).

It costs £5 to join the Shack Supper Challenge, and you’ll get a fundraising target of £100. We’ll send you a pack with your shopping list, suggested recipes, fundraising tips and more. Supplies cost £10 or less, and every time you hit a sponsorship target you unlock bonus items to vary your meals!

What can £100 do?

£100 can do a lot for vulnerable families in all sorts of situations. Over the last year, £100 has:

  • fed five households for 3 weeks in Zambia, during a drought that decimated crops
  • fed a household for 3 months in Ethiopia, after a devastating landslide destroyed homes and livelihoods
  • fed a household for 1 month in South Sudan, during significant conflict that caused catastrophic inflation in food prices
