Take on the challenge today!

What is the '7 Days For 7 Pounds' Challenge

More than 1.3 billion people live on less the £1 a day, 7 Days For 7 Pounds is an experiential food challenge from Mehiel Foundation daring you to live for a whole week on £7 like the people facing chronic hunger around the world.

The challenge lasts for 7 days. On each day, either as an individual or team, you will live on £1 or less just like the people facing chronic hunger around the world, sharing your experiences and fundraising to support our work. By taking part, you will be taking action to end hunger for good.

Whilst we can never recreate what the experience is like for people living in chronic hunger, this challenge gives us the opportunity to understand, to a small extent, what life might be like for them. Crucially, the decisions they may have to make and the impact malnutrition can have on their lives.
