Manor CE School pupils plan to live on £1 a day to raise profile of global poverty

 

DOZENS of pupils at a York secondary school plan to live on £1 a day to raise the profile of global poverty ahead of a trip to Africa.

About 30 pupils and eight staff from Manor CE Academy are planning to visit Malawi, one of the world’s poorest countries, next year where many people live on only £1 a day.

While there, the pupils plan to take part in a number of development projects.

Ahead of the trip, students and some families intend to spend five days feeding themselves on a total of £5 to try and imagine what life must be like.
