World Vision 40 Hour Challenge 2025

World Vision 40 Hour Challenge

Hi, we are sisters Esther and Eden, and this is our very first 40 Hour Challenge! Our first idea was to go without electricity for 40 hours but Mum wouldn't let us, so we have decided to go without FURNITURE instead.

Here's some info about the 40 Hour Challenge from World Vision. We have been learning about this at school:

- In the Pacific region, 1 in 6 kids is living in severe food poverty.

- I'm raising funds to help families farm climate-smart crops and plant mangroves so they can feed their children in a changing climate.

Thanks for your donation! We appreciate your support. We'll keep you updated!

THANK YOU EVERYBODY

Eden: "Thank You for sponsoring us. It wasn't very good, it didn't feel that good sleeping on the floor and sitting on the floor, but I feel great about raising money for the families in the Solomon Islands".

Esther: "Thank you so much for sponsoring me, it is very amazing that you guys all sponsored me and you are all very amazing. I found the 40 hour challenge a bit hard not being able to sit on any furniture, but I also found it fun. But my back got a bit sore!"

Sleeping on the Floor

Wen slept on the floor of Esther's bedroom, in Mum and Dad's really cosy big sleeping bag! It was hard to get to sleep on Friday night because we were too excited!

Sitting on the Floor

We had a great 40 Hours with NO FURNITURE, here we are sitting on the floor instead of the couch while we're watching TV!

THANK YOU for your support so far!

We are really encouraged! Thanks so much. We'll make sure we post some photos during the challenge weekend!

I am going to go without FURNITURE for the 40 Hour Challenge!

I think it will be hard. I will be sleeping in a sleeping bag on the floor in my sister's room. I will have to eat my food sitting on the floor! I will not be able to sit on the couch when I watch TV, I will sit on the floor instead!

I am excited about raising money for the 40 Hour Challenge just because I want to be kind.

For the 40 Hour Challenge, I am going to do "NO FURNITURE!"

This means that I can't sit on any furniture for 40 hours. I will have to eat my breakfast on the floor! I will sleep in a sleeping bag, on the floor, beside my sister Eden.

I think it will be a little bit hard to do "no furniture", but I am doing it because I want to help the kids in Solomon Islands get enough food to eat.

I have gotten $7 dollars already, from my own donation, and my brother Levi.
