LOCATION? Anywhere!
Give up something for Lent to provide school meals for pupils at Crossroads School in Soroti, Uganda.
What you choose to give up is entirely up to you… sugar, gaming, chocolate, cake, beer, fizzy drinks, takeaway coffees, TV…the choice is yours! Keep track of what you give up…That glass of wine? Donate £5 to Global Challenge. A cup of takeaway coffee? Donate £3.50. An hour of gaming? Donate £2… you can decide the amount. You can even give up more than one thing.
Use our 40 days of Lent tracker to record your progress. There are two designs to choose from at the bottom of this page. Click on either image to download and print out your favourite! Tick off each day you give up something.
Just remember, you are helping to provide school meals for pupils at Crossroads Secondary School in Soroti, where approximately £5 pays for a student’s school meals for a whole month!
Don’t worry if you don’t manage to give up something for the whole of Lent. What matters is that you are enjoying yourself and are raising awareness of the work we do at Global Challenge. Just do as much as you can.
