Take on the Live #BelowTheLine challenge this week to help end poverty. Sign up at… bit.ly/uslbl #BelowTheLine

Live Below the Line is an initiative of the Global Poverty Project, a campaign and advocacy organization whose mission is to increase the number and effectiveness of people taking action against extreme poverty. Live Below the Line is our innovative campaign that challenges thousands of individuals across the world to spend $1.50 a day on food and drink for 5 days, to deepen understanding of the challenges faced by individuals living in extreme poverty, and to raise vital funds for crucial anti-poverty initiatives.

We've teamed up with some of the best charities in the country whose work is vital in both making sure that we fight extreme poverty through our actions in the US, and that we support people to lift themselves out of extreme poverty in some of the world's poorest countries. In 2014, Live Below the Line is running in the US, UK and Canada simultaneously, with thousands of people spending 5 days living below the line in order to raise money for our partner organizations.

Across the world, thousands of people will join the movement to tackle extreme poverty - join us.
