Just a ew hours away, lie or our neighbours in theregion couldnt be more dierent to ours in Australia.Around one in three o our neighbours live below theextreme poverty line.

One o the major problems is there just arent enoughschools. Even when there are schools, amilies struggleto pay or transport, ood or clothing on just $2 a day.

In the end, most children struggle in school due topoverty, which makes it hard to nd a job.

Money raised through Live Below the Line willbe dedicated to those living in extreme poverty.We believe the best way to help them breakout o their poverty cycle is through education.I a child can go to school, they have a better

chance o getting meaningul employment, and

so can help lit themselves and their communityout o the poverty cycle.

When you receive a donation on your Live Below the Lineundraising page, that money helps und the OaktreeFoundations lie-saving educational projects in Cambodiaand Papua New Guinea. Your money will help build schools,train teachers, buy textbooks and provide scholarships orchildren and young people in our region. The idea is to

create sustainable change that can last long ater Oaktreenishes providing support.

Donate to yourself! Sounds weird, we know, but its apsychological thing. Once you see the rst donation on yourdashboard, itll be easier to get the second. And people alwayspreer to back a winner.

Asking your riends and amily or donations can sometimes be alittle daunting. But taking up the Live Below the Line challenge is animpressive eat in a culture like ours, and youll be surprised at howmany people are eager to support you.

The rst step is to make sure your riends and amily know that youare living below the line this May. Asking or donations can be aseasy as a conversation sharing your experience o living below the

line, and explaining what motivates you to push on through DayFive o rice and beans.

Let them know that they can make your impact even greater bydonating to your undraising page. O course, theres no platormlike social media or getting a message heard.

Link your cyber buddies to your undraising page, or set up anonline Facebook event inviting them to support you while youLive Below the Line. You might even like to oer an incentive, like

donning a creative costume or a day i you raise over $200, orshouting a coee to any riends who donate more than $20.

Share your experience. Sharing your experience in an authenticway with a blog or video is one o the strongest ways to explainLive Below the Line and ask them to donate to your campaign.

Let people know about the impact that their contribution willmake. For examplea $20 contribution will pay or a studentsboarding who lives ar away rom school, and $60 will provide a

school scholarship or one year.

Start a team. Living Below the Line is similar to scrabble andjogging: better experienced with riends. Its also a lot easier to

pool your unds with your riends or colleagues and make your$10 budget stretch as ar as it can.

PLAN AHEAD. When it comes to shopping, everyone would agreethat it doesnt hurt to be prepared. Have a good think aboutwhat you can purchase or your $10. It isnt too hard to get agreat balance o energy and nutrition in your week living belowthe line.

Learn from others. Youre certainly not alone. Our like-mindedcommunity o LBLers have posted a tonne o blogs, videos,stories and advice or you to check out. By seeing how othersapproached the challenge, youll nd it much easier to stretchyour $10.

Find that bargain. When it comes to stretching your budget,nding those shoestring sale items makes all the dierence.Theyre out there, you just need to nd them! You could evenbuy sale items in the weeks leading up to the challenge.

Dont forget flavour!Ater speaking with the experts (LBLerslike you!) we leant that oten a lack o favour is worse than

having a bit less to eat. But it doesnt need to be that way! Tryto budget or some salt, pepper or other spices. Vege stock is agood go-to!
