In the charity's own words
The charity aims to tackle the root cause of poverty, basic needs such as food, water, health and education. We do this through smaller campaigns tackling specific diseases, such as our current campaign providing rehydration salts and vaccines to children in Pakistan. We partner with UK business to collect and distribute unwanted food in the UK, and educate people on the global hunger crisis.
