What it's all about

Im Taking part in the slum survivor challenge. I will be part of a larger group that for a few days will be limiting their diet, facing challenges and sleeping in temporary shelters we build together. All the money raised will go to support the work of Soul Action in poor communities in South Africa. We will not be allowed luxurys like hair brushes electrical equipment deodorant or any electrical items.

What's needed to make it a reality

From the university i require the financial backing to buy materials for the shelters we will be living in.

    This is a great idea, as homelessness and poverty are problems that effect people in all countries and are issues that people should be constantly reminded of. You have come up with an inventive and original way to educate people on the plight of the residents of South African shanty towns and the homeless everywhere.

    As you are a student studying at Derby University, you can access up to £750 to turn your idea into reality. I'll be in touch with you soon to arrange a meeting!
