could you live for a week on just $2 a day?

Live for a week on just $2 a day!

The $2 a day challenge is a week long challenge to live on just two dollars worth of food a day (roughly £1.30 or £9.10 for the whole week), like nearly half the world’s population has to every day of their lives.

The idea, originally conjured up by a Sheffield P&Per, has become popular with the P&P network. The website has loads of ideas on how and why to run the event, together with some tried and tested recipies by the P&P network.

Here’s our quick guide to completing the task:

  • Spend no more than $2 for every 24 hours

  • Em….that’s it

Why not send the money you save to People & Planet, or collect sponsorship through our online justgiving sponsorship pages?
