Live Below the Line

As you look into the second half of the year, you might start to think about what we have achieved in 2018. No doubt some have succeeded in some intentions, some have fallen by the wayside.

If a goal of yours is to make more of a contribution, consider taking up the Live Below the Line challenge from Monday, 7 to Friday, 11 May.

Live Below the Line aims to raise money and awareness by encouraging participants to sign up online and generate support from family and friends. Having launched in 2010 and raised more than $10 million dollars with the involvement of 50,000 participants, the impact of the program empowering young people to break out of poverty is clear.

The movement asks participants plan to live off just $2 a day, or $10 over the working week; the Australian equivalent of the international poverty line.

The campaign has been established by the Oaktree Foundation, Australia’s largest youth-run anti-poverty organisation. All volunteers are under the age of 26, as Oaktree believes in the unique power and ideas of young people to lead social change movements.

Information on the program, as well as handy daily meal plans and recommended shopping lists and activities are available through the website livebelowtheline.com.au
