40 Hours? Challenge completed!
From 13–15 June, rangatahi across Aotearoa stepped up and took part in the World Vision 40 Hour Challenge to give tamariki in Solomon Islands food for today, and a future for tomorrow. They gave up something hard for 40 hours — whether it was technology or furniture.
Thanks to everyone who took part, families will get the tools and seeds they need to grow climate-smart crops and a reliable food supply. Mangroves will be planted to help protect their gardens from rising seas and bring fish back close to shore.
The money raised will help ensure communities like Polyne's have enough food to grow up healthy and strong. Know someone who took on the challenge? It’s not too late to show your support.
