Rising Star Outreach invites you to participate in a global movement to fight against poverty. Live Below the Line is an awareness and fundraising campaign designed to help people better understand the challenges faced by those living in extreme poverty. Over 1.1 billionpeople in the world live on less than $1.50 a day, poverty that plagues and perpetuates leprosy colonies in India everyday.
Rising Star Outreach has accepted the challenge with Live Below the Line and want to invite you to do the same!
How you ask? Join with thousands across the globe April 28th- May 2nd and live on a total $1.50 a day for food and beverages.
Invite your friends and spread the word! Poverty can be resolved and it all starts with you. You know how! Post, tweet, gram... anything to help get the word out, we can't do this without you. Partner with Rising Star Outreach and give to those whose life is affected by leprosy and help them rise above it.
Start a team and tell all your friends about what it means to live below the line
