Your imagination is the only limit – whatever idea you have to challenge yourself this year, go for it! From giving up food or your phone, to living out of a backpack, or running a bake sale, no idea is a bad idea.

You can hold a fundraising event like washing cars, or do an activity that lasts 40 hours, like walking, running, or playing a sport.

Set your goal! You could give up food to raise $120 that’ll help feed a family for a month? Or maybe run a marathon to raise $200 that’ll provide an ‘essentials kit’ to a family in need?

Create your own personalised fundraising profile to collect donations online – it’s the easiest way to raise awareness and collect donations.

You can personalise your page by telling us all about your challenge and fundraising goal. You can share your profile on social media and email friends and family. You can even connect your profile to your school, church or team!

Download the WorldVisionNZ app from the App Store or Google Play to fundraise on your phone.

Let your friends and family know why you’re doing the 40 Hour Famine and ask them to sponsor you. Share your challenge and goal with them and explain why it’ll be a challenge for you. Let them know how sponsoring you to complete your challenge or making a quick donation will make a real difference.

Then start fundraising! The funds you raise will support South Sudanese children seeking refuge in Uganda, by providing essentials like food and clean water as well as emotional and educational support.

Remember to share your fundraising profile with your mates, church group or sports team, on social media or send them an email to ask for their support.

Dig deep and complete your challenge along with thousands of other Kiwis over the 40 Hour Famine weekend: 8pm on Friday 7th - 12noon on Sunday 9th June 2019. Connect with us and your friends on social media with the official hashtag #40HFNZ

If you’re unable to complete your challenge this weekend then choose a time that works for you! You’ll still make such a big impact just by being a part of it and fundraising.

Thank you for taking up the challenge and supporting the children of South Sudan; your fundraising will make a real difference.

After you complete your challenge, there’s just one last step to go. Collect and hand in all the money that you’ve raised.

Every cent counts towards making a real difference for the children of South Sudan. Hand your money in to your group organiser or school, give yourself a pat on the back and know you’ve done an amazing job!

Remember to thank everyone who has supported you!
