World Vision 40 Hour Challenge
I’m doing the World Vision 40 Hour Challenge to provide kids with food for today, and a future for tomorrow.
In the Pacific region, 1 in 6 kids is living in severe food poverty. Together, we can change that. I'm raising funds to help families farm climate-smart crops and plant mangroves so they can feed their children in a changing climate.
Please donate now to help kids in the Pacific get enough food to grow up healthy and strong. 40 hours? Challenge accepted!

Polyne's Story
Friday 6th Jun
Nine-year-old Polyne lives with her mum, her dad and four siblings in Solomon Islands.
Her family has always relied on fishing and growing crops in their garden for food and income. But over the years, that’s become harder and harder because of the impacts of climate change.
Every day now is a struggle for Polyne and her family to get enough food. Changing weather patterns mean most of their crops have been destroyed and catching fish is so much harder. There are fewer fish, and they’re further from the shore.
Rising seas have forced Polyne’s family to move inland, away from the shoreline. The land they once called home is eroding away and the soil is full of salt so their fruit trees and swamp taro can’t grow.
