UmRio/OneRio launch Level the Playing Field campaign

https://lnkd.in/dEXRQck

Today, to coincide with World Health Day, we are launching our Level the Playing Field fundraising campaign, to raise the per capita income of 139 people who are currently living on less than US$1 per day, and provide a lifeline to personal, academic and professional development.

Many of you will have heard about the health crisis facing Brazil over the past few months. Just yesterday, Brazil recorded a daily high of nearly 4,200 deaths from Covid-19. However, this crisis goes beyond the collapse of the health system, with cuts to emergency welfare resulting in a 200% rise in reported hunger at UmRio.

A donation of any size will go a long way to support the scholarships scheme in 2021. Each scholarship costs £35 and provides a student with financial relief, internet access and individual mentorship for a month. A donation of £ 315 would provide a student with a monthly scholarship for the remainder of 2021

We are looking to help level the playing field through our scholarships scheme which will help our most vulnerable young people when they are at the crossroads of having to decide whether to remain in education/training or abandon personal goals to meet immediate needs.

A donation of any size will go a long way in supporting the campaign. Thank you.
