Will you survive? 

1. SURVIVE: Give up an essential item (it could be your morning coffee, facebook, or even a hot shower) for 7 days.

2. COMPETE: with your friends, colleagues and family to see who the best survivor is amongst you.

3. DONATE: the value of what you are giving up, or get sponsored by friends and family!.

4. CELEBRATE: your survival and win rewards!

Why does it matter? 

This is your chance to kick that horrible habit - to go without caffeine, smoking, your daily stalk on facebook, even using the internet after work! For many children in India, your essential is often a luxury.

RISE is a small charity, and your money will result in clear, measurable results on the ground. 100% of donations will go to our Yearn to Learn supplementary literacy programme in rural West Bengal. With 46% of the 10 year olds at least 3 years behind their literacy level, lacking the ability to read or write can prevent generations from realising their dreams and escaping poverty.
